About

Solomon Obotu Akor is a forward-thinking researcher at the intersection of artificial intelligence and library science, with a primary focus on the transformation of information services in developing nations. His work critically examines how AI technologies—from machine learning to natural language processing—can be harnessed to prevent libraries from becoming obsolete in the digital age. Akor’s most influential paper, “Artificial intelligence in the library: gauging the potential application and implications for contemporary library services in Nigeria” (2023), has garnered 39 citations, establishing him as a leading voice on AI adoption in African library systems. In this work, he systematically evaluates the practical applications and ethical considerations of integrating AI into Nigerian libraries, addressing challenges like infrastructure gaps and staff training. A related publication (3 citations) further explores the broader implications for 21st-century information services. Akor’s contributions are particularly notable for bridging the gap between cutting-edge technology and real-world implementation in resource-constrained settings, offering actionable frameworks for librarians and policymakers. His research serves as a vital resource for students and professionals seeking to understand how AI can democratize access to information and modernize library services across the Global South.
