Abstract: The swift advancement of digital and artificial intelligence (AI) technology has offered new avenues for improving library educational experiences. The study discussed in this article examines the efficacy of incorporating AI-powered academic animations and chatbots into library resources to increase user engagement, knowledge retention, and overall learning outcomes. The findings indicate that AI-driven educational animations offer interactive and visually compelling material. This results in substantial enhancement of users’ perception of challenging concepts and boosts their curiosity to explore library resources. Additionally, incorporating chatbots as virtual assistants provides individualized support, responding in real-time to users—particular needs and inquiries, promoting a more effective and user-friendly library experience. The study emphasizes how AI-driven academic animations and chatbots can revolutionize library learning spaces, offering users a more engaging, appealing, approachable, and valuable learning environment. The study suggests further research into these technologies and their integration into library systems. They focused on multidisciplinary collaboration and creating standards of excellence to ensure cutting-edge tools, successful deployment, and long-term sustainability.
