China-Russia forum focuses on AI application in libraries
The second China-Russia Library Forum, themed on the application of artificial intelligence in libraries, concluded in Beijing on Wednesday.
In-depth exchanges and discussions on “professional libraries, document preservation and protection, social public service and smart libraries’’ were conducted during the two-day forum.
The forum was co-hosted by the National Library of China and the Russian State Library.
Digital transformation in the library sector is not a fad, but a necessary condition for success, said Vadim Duda, director general of the Russian State Library.
Libraries are faced with more diversified and complex user information needs and reading service scenarios, which require us to think more deeply about using modern, advanced technology.
Chen Ying, deputy librarian of the National Library of China, has said.
The first China-Russia Library Forum was held in Moscow in July 2023.
