This paper explores the use of cloud computing in academic libraries, emphasizing its advantages, difficulties, and possible long-term effects. The study investigates how cloud-based solutions eliminate the need for onpremises infrastructure, streamline access to digital collections, and promote collaboration between institutions. Academic libraries may now provide scalable storage, improved data security, and remote resource access thanks to cloud computing, which helps to meet the increasing need for virtual learning environments. The research also emphasizes cloud-based library management systems that streamline the cataloging, acquisitions, and circulation procedures, such as integrated library services platforms. Notwithstanding these benefits, the report notes drawbacks such as worries about data privacy reliance on outside service providers and the requirement for personnel to possess the necessary technical abilities. The study concludes with recommendations for overcoming these challenges and optimizing the benefits of cloud adoption in the academic library setting. The findings suggest that while cloud computing offers numerous advantages to academic libraries, careful consideration of data governance and staff training is essential for successful implementation.

The employment of these cutting-edge technologies in cataloguing, information retrieval, user support, and maintenance are some of the areas of library services that this study investigates. While robotic systems offer interactive and customized user support, enhancing the overall user experience, AI-driven systems increase the efficiency of cataloguing procedures by automating metadata production and classification. Furthermore, advanced information retrieval is made easier by AI algorithms, giving users faster and more accurate access to pertinent information. In addition, the study looks at how robotics can help with standard maintenance duties like book retrieval and shelf organizing, freeing up human labour for more intricate and valuable work. The results imply that the application of AI and robotic technology in libraries increases service quality and operational efficiency while also improving accessibility and user-friendliness. Possible obstacles to the broad use of these technologies are also explored, along with future research goals.

A quantitative strategy was applied. A survey was used to collect data from 224 students from Hindustan university , who were chosen using the stratified sampling technique. The questionnaire served as the primary tool for gathering data, which were then descriptively analyzed. The results demonstrated that everyone was aware of plagiarism and that their primary information source was lecturers. Although most students had a rudimentary understanding of what plagiarism is, they have expanded its definition to include other types of academic dishonesty. They plagiarized despite thinking they had control over the practice. Plagiarism was motivated by a number of factors, including pressure to succeed, insufficient academic writing abilities, laziness, a lack of time management skills, a poor comprehension of plagiarism, and ease of downloading other people's work from the Internet. Students' knowledge and comprehension of the subject matter are enhanced and plagiarism and its repercussions are brought to light by the study. It also advances information and gives scholars and students studying this field of study another resource to consult.

The use of information and communication technologies, such as the internet and the web, has demonstrated to be more beneficial, particularly for academics and faculty who might not have easy access to traditional library resources. The majority of traditional libraries have become e-libraries, holding the majority of their materials in electronic formats, thanks to the use of information and communication technology. Electronic resources are now commonly used in scholarly research, resource for academics and students. In order to ascertain the advantages faculty identify with electronic resources and the difficulties they have in gaining access to such resources, the study aims to investigate faculty's awareness of and use of online academic databases. The study made it very evident that professors heavily rely on electronic resources available online, not just for research but also to assist their instruction. However, very few people used the library's online academic databases. This was primarily caused by faculty members' ignorance of these databases' availability or their ignorance of the library's subscription to them. Given the aforementioned disclosures, it is imperative that the library increase teacher and student awareness of the existence and use of its electronic resources.

Five study objectives were established to drive this research effort, including determining librarians' level of awareness of cloud computing, their perspective of cloud computing, their attitude toward cloud computing, and others. It used a descriptive study strategy with a quantitative approach. The study's population included 69 librarians, however a census sample approach was used to create 54 responders, and just a questionnaire was used to collect data. The Statistical Product and Services Solution (SPSS) program version 21 was used in the study to create percentages and frequencies from quantitative data that was displayed in tables. The study's findings found that librarians are aware of Cloud Computing technology; they have a favourable impression of it and are open to it, among other things. It was therefore recommended that library directors always urge workers to not only be aware of new technologies but also to take a risk in implementing these technologies. They ought to make an effort to pay for workers to attend more seminars, conferences, and studies.
