Abstract:

Purpose/Significance The evolution of smart libraries has ushered in a new era, marked by the integration of multimodal learning technologies that combine information from various modalities such as speech, images, and video. This cutting-edge technology is revolutionizing traditional information service systems by providing a more interactive, efficient, and personalized user experience. Unlike traditional studies that focus on single-mode interactions, this research examines the role of multimodal technologies in transforming library services and increasing user engagement. The study highlights its unique contributions to the field of library science, particularly in improving knowledge dissemination, enhancing user-centered services, and addressing emerging challenges in digital information management. These findings not only enrich the theoretical framework of smart libraries, but also provide practical insights into the design and deployment of advanced information services. Method/Process This study takes a multidisciplinary approach, drawing from library science, information technology, and human-computer interaction theories. It systematically reviews the historical development and theoretical foundations of multimodal learning technologies while emphasizing their relevance to intelligent library ecosystems. The analysis is organized around key application areas, including intelligent navigation, intelligent question and answer systems, user education with intelligent support, and immersive reading experiences. These areas were explored through a combination of case studies, and a detailed analysis of current library practices. To evaluate the practical impact of these technologies, the study employed qualitative methods, analyzing user feedback and system performance metrics. This comprehensive research also identifies current barriers to adoption, such as data privacy concerns, technology costs, and disparities in user acceptance across different demographics. [Results/ Conclusions The results show that multimodal learning technologies significantly enhance the functionality and user experience of smart libraries. They improve the accuracy of information retrieval, enable more interactive and immersive learning environments, and enable personalized services tailored to individual needs. Despite these advantages, challenges remain, particularly in areas such as securing user data, reducing deployment costs, and increasing accessibility for underprivileged users. The study proposes actionable strategies to address these issues, including enhancing system interoperability, refining ethical frameworks, and fostering human-computer collaboration to reduce barriers to technology adoption. It also identifies gaps in current research, such as the need for more empirical studies of long-term user interaction patterns and the scalability of multimodal systems in large library networks. Future studies could also explore the integration of emerging technologies such as augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence (AI) into multimodal library services to further improve their efficiency and reach. By providing a robust framework and practical strategies, this study contributes to the ongoing discourse on smart library innovation, and paves the way for more sustainable and inclusive information service models. It underscores the transformative potential of multimodal technologies to redefine library science and advance the global digital information landscape.
