Purpose

This study aimed to present a model for the use of augmented reality (AR) in the libraries of universities of medical sciences. The goal was to introduce the applications, advantages, opportunities and challenges of AR.

Design/methodology/approach

This study adopted a qualitative approach, had an applied goal and was based on data theory. The statistical population comprised 20 experts in the field of AR, and the data were collected based on in-depth semi-structured interviews until achieving theoretical saturation. A model was proposed after open coding and the formation of the main categories, and the use of AR in the development of libraries of medical universities was discussed.

Findings

The category of application consisted of strengthening education, promoting users' information literacy, finding resources, user guidance, gamification, educational justice, helping management, enriching resources, providing new services and economic savings. The advantages were library services, sociocultural excellence, educational level, software potential and helping the librarian. The challenges were technical, economic and cultural barriers. Libraries can attract many users by enacting effective policies, using technology and enriching the content of resources. AR can greatly assist library management and improve the librarians' and users' professional activities.

Research limitations/implications

The limitation of this study was that some experts could not participate in the interviews.

Originality/value

The results of this study are beneficial for managers, librarians, students and researchers. The use of AR in libraries is essential for achieving fourth-generation libraries. AR will be a necessity for the libraries of medical universities.

医学大学图书馆中的增强现实技术:确定应用、优势和挑战并提出模型

目的

本研究旨在提出一种在医学大学图书馆中使用增强现实 (AR) 的模型。目标是介绍 AR 的应用、优势、机遇和挑战。

设计/方法/途径

本研究采用定性方法,具有应用目标并基于数据理论。统计人群由20位AR领域的专家组成,数据是基于深度半结构化访谈收集的,直至达到理论饱和。提出开放编码和主要类别形成后的模型,探讨AR在医科大学图书馆建设中的应用。

发现

应用类别包括加强教育、提升用户信息素养、寻找资源、用户引导、游戏化、教育公正、帮助管理、丰富资源、提供新服务和经济节约。优势是图书馆服务、社会文化卓越、教育水平、软件潜力和帮助图书馆员。挑战是技术、经济和文化障碍。图书馆可以通过制定有效的政策、使用技术和丰富资源内容来吸引大量用户。AR 可以极大地辅助图书馆管理,提高图书馆员和用户的专业活动。

研究局限性/影响

本研究的局限性在于部分专家无法参与访谈。

原创性/价值

这项研究的结果对管理人员、图书馆员、学生和研究人员都是有益的。在图书馆中使用 AR 对于实现第四代图书馆至关重要。AR 将成为医科大学图书馆的必需品。
