Abstract

With the rapid development and application of 5G technology, industries worldwide are undergoing unprecedented changes. As centers for knowledge and information dissemination, university libraries are also continuously innovating and transforming in terms of service models, technological frameworks, and management approaches. This paper explores the development of smart university libraries in the 5G era, beginning with an explanation of the concept of smart libraries, reviewing their developmental history, and discussing the role of 5G technology in advancing library operations. The paper then proposes innovative development strategies for smart university libraries in the 5G era, covering service innovation, technological innovation, and management innovation. By analyzing domestic and international case studies of 5G applications in university libraries, the paper explores the challenges faced in practical applications, such as network infrastructure construction, data security and privacy protection, financial investment, and policy support, and suggests corresponding solutions. Finally, the paper summarizes the far-reaching impact of 5G technology on university libraries and provides an outlook on future development directions.
