in there 270,400 e-book titles and 11,000 e-journal titles are copyrighted by UEH that has been purchasing access to 08 databases provided by EBSCO and 01 Elsevier's database is ScienceDirect, 84,000 full-text documents and bibliographic records are contained in 133 databases selected by the Library from open educational resources, and over 15,000 full-text articles in endogenous databases ( UEH Repository) includes: theses, dissertations, research works and publications at home and abroad of the UEH community UEH Smart Library is being built step by step on big data, applying artificial intelligence to analyze data, capture information needs and document orientation for users To this, it is required that the organization and management of collections must strictly comply with international professional standards on classification, cataloging, connection and sharing of data Along with the digital transformation strategy in the management activities of the University, the UEH Library is no longer a place to store documents for teachers and learners to borrow textbooks or read books, newspapers, and magazines UEH Smart Institute is the beginning of "Smart Hub" - a space to inspire creativity and share knowledge of the UEH community Because of the necessity and importance of the smart library, our team chose the research title: “The use of the UEH Smart Library by UEH students” REASEARCH OBJECTIVES 2.1 Research subjects Our research subjects are the use of UEH Smart library by UEH students and factors affect the use of UEH library by UEH students : Smart Technologies, Smart Services as well as the problems faced by the students in the use of the UEH smart library 2.2 Research respondents: Respondents are UEH students 2.3 The benefits of the study The group conducts research with the aim of benefiting UEH students and value for UEH's sustainable development as proposing some solutions to promote UEH students to use UEH Smart Library, optimize smart service and smart experience, thereby creating better conditions for UEH's online training, increase the chance for UEH to become the first university in Southeast Asia to complete digital transformation of the library sector RESEARCH LIMITATIONS The group’s research has some limitations : the number of respondents in the survey is not large enough In addition, the research is limited by the the team's subjective point of view SCOPE OF STUDY Space: The research took place in the B and N campus of UEH University Time: The survey started from 11/2022 to 12/2022 RESEARCH QUESTIONS 5.1 What UEH students use UEH Smart Library for? 5.2 How often UEH students use UEH Smart Library? 5.3 Do students feel satisfied when using UEH Smart Library? 5.4 What suggestions students improve the use of the UEH Smart library? CONCEPTS AND RELEVANT RESEARCHES 6.1 Concept a) Smart library The term “smart library” was coined by Aittola et al (2003) (Zimmerman and Chang, 2018) According to Cao et al (2018) In lucid language, a smart library is a library with a purpose to provide better and advanced services to the users The working definition of a smart library is the library, which renders its special services making use of electronic and communication technology Zimmerman and Chang (2018) share their view about a smart library in the following way: The smart library is the integration of books and related data, as well as digital and space resources, based on the realization of comprehensive informationization of the library Use of a large data intelligent analysis platform, the library management and services are intelligent and personalized, and the reader needs are oriented to improve their experience Achieve this; the construction of a smart library requires the realization of true full data exchange and the availability of a full-scale data-sharing center b) Smart technology Advanced technology (smart technology) is the foundation and premise of the smart library and can include wearable technology, mobile internet, intelligent processing technology, cloud computing, and virtual and ubiquitous technology The core of the current development of smart library technology is data mining, AI andthe IoT (Gaohui Cao et al., 2018) Data mining has long been discussed within library studies Libraries have used data mining to assist management decisions (Cullen, 2005) Cox and Jantti (2012), at the University of Wollongong library, have joined library data to university demographic and academic performance data to show a strong correlation between library use and higher student grades Some researchers (Chen and Chen, 2007; Kovacevic et al.,2010;Tsai and Chen, 2008) have proposed using library data mining to provide recommender services for library materials Data mining methods can produce individualized services for users – for example, by pushing information to them –and they can assist with decision-making (Renaud et al., 2016) Furthermore, they can make links between different books (e.g between books on cookery and books on health), thereby creating a rich and individualized resource for users (Renaud et al.,2016) c) Smart services Use oriented services and smart technological services like Selective Dissemination of Information (SDI), the virtual reading room, providing information via mobile devices, cloud computing services and IoT-like interactive technologies, the applicability of artificial intelligence and various such innovative technologies (Summer et al., 2019) 6.2 Relevant researches Research title How to make Author Variables in ( year) study Gaohui Cao - Technology Findings Traditional libraries can the library smart?
