The article provides an overview of current and upcoming technological trends impacting libraries, such as cloud computing, mobile computing, e-readers, e-books, and virtual technologies like Gamification, Augmented Reality, and Virtual Reality. It suggests that libraries are transitioning into digital libraries due to the influence of cutting-edge technologies. Historically, libraries have collaborated to preserve resources, offer information services, and provide access, but new technological developments enable tailored services for users. The study gathers information from related projects, online articles, academic journals, and internet databases to analyze the advantages, applications, and significance of these developments. While it identifies some new trends, it acknowledges limitations in its coverage of the rapidly evolving landscape of library technology.
