Predictive Models for Efficient Resource Management in Modern Libraries

Abstract

Modern libraries need to organize their resources more efficiently to run more smoothly, give users a better experience, and keep up with changing digital and real resources. These problems can now be solved with predictive models, which are very useful. This essay looks into how prediction analytics can be used to help library managers make better decisions, forecast demand, and decide how to use resources. Machine learning systems can anticipate changes in how people request books, use digital resources, walk through the library, and their personal tastes by looking at past data. With these models, libraries can plan for future needs, make the best use of workers, and keep track of their collections more efficiently, all of which lowers costs and raises the level of service. This study looks at how different prediction models, like time series forecasting, classification, and grouping methods, have been used in libraries to help with different tasks. We talk about how to add these models to current library management systems, with a focus on making the interfaces easy to use and giving library staff data-driven tools to help them make decisions. To check how well prediction models work, key performance indicators (KPIs) like resource use, user happiness, and business efficiency are looked at. It was found that libraries that use prediction models will be better at making decisions, use their resources more efficiently, and make customers happier. This essay shows how predictive analytics could change the way libraries are run, making them better able to adapt to the changing needs of modern users in both real and digital settings. It urges more study and development so that prediction models can fully improve how libraries work.
