Abstract: This work presents a systematic literature review of smart library management system. By studying different papers for past 10 years to address several research questions, the findings are presented. A smart library is based on employing smart information and communication technologies (ICT) to facilitate readers. Five major research questions are answered. What is smart library, the major research challenges in implementing smart library, the advantages of smart library, and the enabling technologies for smart library. Finally, this work presents a smart library management system based on deep learning technique. An android mobile application is developed that digitizes the book records of the library using optical character recognition techniques. The proposed approach comprises various phases such as image acquisition, pre-processing, skew correction, segmentation and classification. The image is first acquired, quantized, de-noised and then segmented into individual characters. A deep neural network is trained and used to digitize the contents of textual image. The proposed approach achieves 95% of accuracy for digitizing the book records.
