Description 264-271
The goal of this study is to assess the significant advancements made in the usage of wireless communication technology
(WCT) in libraries over the last few decades. It analyses how wireless technology helps expand library services and user
community integration in academic and social environments. Employing the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic
Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) approach, the researcher systematically analyzed scholarly articles sourced from
databases such as EBSCO, J-gate+, and Google Scholar, focusing on publications in English directly related to libraries.
Technical terms were defined using dictionaries and encyclopedia websites to ensure clarity. Findings revealed a growing
adoption of WCT-based services in both academic institutions and public libraries, enhancing library services and fostering
user community integration. However, challenges such as limited ICT skills, financial constraints, and resistance from
library staff and patrons were identified as barriers to implementation. Despite these challenges, the benefits of wireless
networking in supporting library services are evident, though concerns regarding security and network structure persist This
study implies that libraries can leverage wireless technology to its fullest potential by implementing robust security
measures, investing in infrastructure, and providing digital literacy programs to users.
