DRTC | COLLOQUIUM-6: Libraries in the Era of Internet of Things

Topic: Libraries in the Era of Internet of Things

Abstract 

The Internet of Things (IoT) alludes to the ever-growing network of physical objects that feature an IP Address for internet connectivity, and the communication that occurs between these objects and other internet-enabled devices and systems. In the IoT technologies, sensors and actuators embedded in physical objects are linked through wired and wireless networks.

Like any other service industries, this technology also has a huge potential in the betterment of library services.
