Articles address digital transformation, indigenous knowledge systems, user satisfaction, and library services in multilingual and developing contexts. Case studies from South Africa, Turkey, Sri Lanka, Ghana, and China illustrate how local libraries confront challenges through innovation and training. The issue explores how technology, user-centered approaches, and national policy affect service delivery and professional development. Authors discuss the changing role of libraries amid institutional, social, and technological shifts. Collectively, these contributions highlight libraries’ efforts to remain inclusive, culturally relevant, and effective in a rapidly evolving global information landscape.enUK: Apart from fair dealing for the purposes of research or private study, or criticism or review, and only as permitted under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Acts 1988, this publication may only be reproduced, stored or transmitted, in any form or by any means, with the prior permission in writing of the Publishers, or in the case of reprographic reproduction, in accordance with the terms of licences issued by the Copyright Licensing Agency (www.cla.co.uk/).
