Abstract
The rapid advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) are reshaping various domains, including the management and access to information in libraries. Traditional digital libraries (TDLs) have been the cornerstone of academic and research institutions for decades. However, the integration of AI into digital library systems is revolutionizing how information is retrieved, categorized, and delivered to users. This paper aims to provide a comparative analysis of AI-powered digital libraries (AIDLs) and traditional digital libraries (TDLs) in terms of their technological foundation, functionalities, user experience, and limitations. By evaluating aspects such as information retrieval, content curation, personalization, and automation, this study sheds light on the benefits and challenges posed by the use of AI in library systems. Ultimately, it explores how AI enhances the potential of digital libraries while also presenting new challenges that need to be addressed.
