preprint2022arXivOpen access

Abstract

The emergence of smart cities as a specific concept is not very old. In simple terms, it refers to cities which are sustainable and driven predominantly by their Information and Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructure. Smart libraries and smart knowledge managers, alongside its other smart component-entities, are vital for their emergence, sustenance and progress. The paper attempts at deducing a symbiosis amongst smart cities, smart libraries and smart knowledge managers. It further elaborates on how these will usher in the neo-knowledge society, and the opportunities it'll offer vis-à-vis Library and Information Science (LIS). Finally, it concludes on an optimistic note, mentioning possible future research activities in this regard.
