“…Furthermore, respondents addressed that lack of best practices, unproven nature of Linked Data technology, complexity in implementation and the expenses in terms of trained personnel and monies are obstacles to effective Linked Data adoption and development (Table 3). McKenna, Debruyne, and O'Sullivan's (2018) study is also similar to current study and it explored the challenges to use linked data in libraries, archives and museums as perceived by information professionals. Findings indicated that the most challenging task for information professionals is to design Linked Data tools that match with the workflows and skills of information professionals.…”

This study aims to explore librarians' perspective about the adoption of Linked Data technologies along with their level of interest to adopt these technologies in Pakistani university libraries. It also identifies their perceived hindrances that obstruct them to adopt and effectively implement Linked Data technologies in libraries. This is a quantitative study based on survey research design. To meet the objective of the study, a self-constructed and validated questionnaire was used to collect data. Findings show that university librarians believe in the effective adoption of Linked Data technology in libraries. They perceive that Linked Data technology can enhance navigation between the traditional online tools to access library resources and Linked Data will soon be the standard for creating metadata and records for information resources management in libraries. They are eager to attend events about Linked Data application in their libraries and willing to explore ways to incorporate Linked Data standards in bibliographic records management as well. Barriers do exist such as the general lack of awareness of basic Linked Data concepts and best practices for this emerging technology. To foster the research and to set Linked Data best practices in libraries and other cultural heritage institutions, there is a potential to invest in this area in terms of financial and social capital.

“…The 185 questionnaires that were analysed were classified into two groups: participants who have experience working with Linked Data (N = 54) (group 1), and participants who do not have experience working with Linked Data (N = 131) (group 2). For more information on the survey methodology and participants, we refer the reader to [6].…”

“…The use of Linked Data is gaining momentum within IPs and digital libraries 1 . IPs realised that Linked Data offers many benefits, such as better resource discovery and interoperability [6]. However, Linked Data implementation by IPs has been relatively slow, with issues in relation to the quality of currently available Linked Data resources being a notable challenge [6,9].…”

“…Эта технология позволяет машинам интерпретировать текст, помещать его в контекст и связывать его с соответствующими ресурсами, что делает возможным работу с данными из разных источников (в том числе возможность строить запросы). О преимуществах и проблемах их использования в библиотеках опубликован ряд работ и обзоров [22,26], рассматриваются возможности LD для идентификации авторов в каталогах [1], связь данных для документов, хранящихся в цифровых коллекциях [13], информации, содержащейся в каталогах с внешними источниками данных [35], и др.…”

The dynamic development of the external technological environment, on the one hand, impacts on libraries questioning their future existence, on the other, helps libraries to work more productively, increases competitiveness and efficiency, expands the range of social projects, develops new ways and forms of work with users taking into account their preferences in information and services. The review is based on over 500 articles searched in the world's largest databases (Google Scholar, Web of Science, Scopus, etc.), which discuss trends and future development of libraries. Then the documents were classified according to sections and types of libraries, as well as advanced technologies. Examples of information technologies were collected and reviewed, as well as articles related to the implementation of information technologies when creating new services, with the emphasis on those that may affect libraries in the future. The latest information technologies that can be applied to the next generation library have been studied. The material is structured in blocks and presented in two parts. Thie 1st one presents such sections as: 1) challenges of the external environment and the future of libraries, 2) modern information technologies in libraries development (mobile technologies and applications, cloud computing, big data, internet of things, virtual and augmented reality, technical innovations, etc.), 4) Library 4.0 concept - new directions for libraries development. The 2nd part of the review article (Bibliosphere, 2019, 1) will touch the following issues: 1) user preferences and new library services (software for information literacy development, research data management, web archiving, etc.), 2) libraries as centers of intellectual leisure, communication platforms, places for learning, co-working, renting equipment, creativity, work, scientific experiments and leisure, 3) smart buildings and smart libraries, 4) future optimism. Based on the content analysis of publications, it is concluded that libraries should not only accumulate resources and provide access to them, but renew existing approaches to forms and content of their activities, as well as goals, missions and prospects for their development using various hard- and software, cloud computing technologies, mobile technologies and apps, social networks, etc.
