“…Computing in all organizations is connected to networks, and these complex systems are modeled to suit the work required. Through research, software agents have been developed into active areas and so on, and thus received a lot of attention, especially in the technology field [4]. Testing software agents is a difficult task due to the independence and distribution of these systems.…”

In digital communications, information security is a paramount necessity. In the hiding algorithm, there are three basic parameters: security, capacity, and imperceptibility. Therefore, there are many ways to design the steganography algorithm, such as least significant bit (LSB), discrete wave transformation (DWT), and discrete cosine transform (DCT). The aim of this paper is to improve agent software design based on a steganography system. It proposed an agent system based on a support vector machine (SVM) classifier to hide a secret message in a certain cover image. The common dataset for steganography uses 80% training and 20% testing to get accurate results. Developing an agent system depends on six statistical parameters such as energy, standard deviation, histogram, variance, mean, and entropy. This resulted in features classified by the SVM classifier to predict the best cover image to be nominated for embedding. Worthy results were obtained in terms of imperceptibility, attack, and cover image prediction by statistical issues.

“…The technology can also diminish the existence of a physical library and thus could be a threat to librarians (Bansal et al, 2018). The adoption of IoT in libraries in developing countries, as mentioned by Igbinovia and Okuonghae (2021b), is determined by context-based factors, including technological, organizational, environmental, and security/privacy factors. Asim et al (2022) identified lack of highly networked and integrated environment, financial issues, the absence of a policy and strategic plan, and a shortage of technical staff as the main obstacles to implementing IoT in Pakistani university libraries.…”

Although the library sector is still relatively new to IoT, there is evidence that some libraries have adopted some of the perspectives of IoT (Mohammadi and Yegane, 2018; Pujar and Satyanarayana, 2015).…”

PurposeThe major objectives of this study are to explore the perceptions of library practitioners towards IoT and to suggest directions for its proper application in university libraries of Bangladesh.Design/methodology/approachThe study conducted an online questionnaire-based survey of library practitioners working at university libraries in Bangladesh in addition to an email interview with ten librarians. A sample size of 310 library practitioners was obtained using the convenience sampling technique for the survey. Non-parametric tests were performed to examine the differences in demographics and perspectives on IoT, as well as the potential benefits and challenges of IoT deployment in libraries.FindingsA total of 178 valid surveys were completed, and the results indicate that 147 (82.6%) library practitioners have varied degrees of IoT understanding and positive attitudes about IoT applications in libraries. The study identified RFID, wireless technologies, cloud computing, mobile apps, artificial intelligence and semantic search as major IoT enablers. Tracking, book reservation, circulation, user identification, service marketing, selection of resources, information networking and resource sharing, etc. are the main areas of a library where IoT may be applied. The integration of IoT has the potential to transform conventional libraries into smart libraries. However, there are some challenges that Bangladeshi university libraries must overcome to take use of the prospects emerged from IoT.Research limitations/implicationsThe study would encourage Bangladeshi librarians adopting IoT-based library and information services and provide guidelines for its successful implementation.Originality/valueThe study is a pioneering effort from Bangladesh’s perspective which portrays the original opinions and perceptions of library practitioners regarding IoT applications in university libraries of Bangladesh.

“…Meanwhile, the possibility of introducing blockchain technology in libraries has also been explored (Khan et al , 2022; Tella, 2022). Furthermore, the application of brand new technologies in libraries like the Internet of Things (IoT) (Xie et al , 2020; Igbinovia, 2021) and big data analytics (BDA) (Islam et al , 2021) were also examined. However, investigations relating to blockchain, IoT, BDA, etc.…”

Purpose The present study demonstrates how browser plugins have been adopted by libraries in recent times to empower users in participatory academic and research activities. The study aims to present a brief synthesis of the practical use of browser plugins in libraries and their possible future use. Design/methodology/approach Web-based survey method was applied in the study to search and find browser plugins associated with academic library websites and to explore their area of application. Findings With the descriptive account of the implementation of plugins in academic libraries, supported by numerous examples, the study presents the pertinence of various approaches as appeared on library websites. Research limitations/implications The present investigation is limited to the academic libraries only. Originality/value The good practices enumerated in the study will improve the understanding of the young library professionals about the practical usage of plugins and the steps to enhance accessibility to plugins.
