ABSTRACT

The new virus COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan, China on Dec. 08, 2019 has had a huge impact on all sectors of society including economy, politics, and science sector, around the world. As a result, the government is continuing its contactless lifestyle by implementing life prevention guidelines which prevent the spread of COVID-19 by minimizing human-to-human contact. Several public user services are also being converted to non-contact way, changing the overall environment of our society. The Library Information System, one of the user services, provides various services through online and offline, including lending and reading books, non-books lending and reading, and operating cultural spaces. However, due to the influence of COVID-19, online user services are required to be expanded, making it important for the Library Information System to improve stability and reliability. This study defined the user service of the Library Information System and examined the variables that are needed for the construction of next generation Library Information System through a group of experts. Based on these selected factors, the research contributes to the construction of the next generation Library Information System with the correlation results of the empirical analysis. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
