The journal highlights how libraries are evolving into innovation hubs by integrating Makerspaces, digital fabrication labs, multimedia studios, and other technology-driven spaces. It examines the role of smart cataloguing, digital curation, and user-centred services in enhancing library operations. By bridging theory and practice, Library 4.0 provides insights into how libraries can leverage emerging technologies to enhance their services and adapt to changing user needs. The journal publishes research articles, case studies, technical reviews, and experimental findings.
