Smart technologies are the recent trend in academic libraries. Smart technologies have the potential to enhance academic library services provision and also support the distance learning environment, especially now as higher education embraces online and distance learning. Therefore, it is essential to investigate the level of implementation of smart services at academic libraries and the challenges they face in developing and\/or providing smart services. A questionnaire was developed to collect the required data from library staff ( N\u2009=\u2009340) at academic libraries in Jordan, where (246) responded and completed the questionnaire. The results indicate a moderate level of implementation of smart services at academic libraries in Jordan ( M\u2009=\u20093.12). The result also shows that the challenges facing the libraries to implement and offer smart services was also moderate ( M\u2009=\u20093.57). Resistance to change was the main challenge libraries face in their attempt to embrace smart technology to offer smart services. Also, privacy and confidentiality appeared to be one of the top rated challenges libraries have to deal with when planning for smart services deployment. Moreover, financial-related issues, such as poor infrastructure and staff training were among the main challenges librarians face to develop\/offer smart services. Most importantly, challenges negatively affect the level of smart services at academic libraries in Jordan. This paper provides insights for academic librarians and decision-makers in planning for the provision of smart services at their libraries. It highlights the main challenges that might hinder the implementation and provision of smart services. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/09610006221114173","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,29]],"date-time":"2022-07-29T05:25:48Z","timestamp":1659072348000},"page":"960-971","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":42,"title":["The provision of smart service at academic libraries and associated challenges"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"55","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7548-0529","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Faten","family":"Hamad","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Sultan Qaboos University, Muscat"},{"name":"The University of Jordan, Jordan"}]},{"given":"Maha","family":"Al-Fadel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International Islamic University Malaysia, Malaysia"}]},{"given":"Hussam","family":"Fakhouri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Jordan, Jordan"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-09610006221114173","unstructured":"Adetayo AJ, Adeniran PO, Gbotosho AO (2021) Augmenting traditional library services: Role of smart library technologies and big data.
