The Internet of Things is a connected network consisting of several nodes and provides tools for more convenient use of library services, which in addition to improving library processes, increases efficiency and improves library services. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to identify the advantages and challenges of Internet of Things in libraries and information centers in order to provide a coherent classification and perspective for the future research of Internet of Things in these centers using a systematic review technique.

The current research is applied in terms of purpose and in terms of research, it is a qualitative study that was conducted using a systematic review technique. The method of conducting this research is that first the research problem was formulated and then the texts related to the purpose of the research were studied and then the search strategy was determined and then the data was extracted from Scopus and Weboscience databases. After retrieving 2335 documents from the two databases in question, the data were merged with each other and overlapping items were removed. Finally, the necessary components were identified from the 42 selected studies,

In this research, the advantages, challenges and type of technology used to use the Internet of Things in libraries and information centers were selected for the final analysis. According to the concepts obtained with the objectives of the research, each of them was categorized in a similar concept. Based on the findings, it was found that the advantages of Internet of Things in three categories, online service infrastructure including 8 concepts; Complex control infrastructure including 16 concepts, physical infrastructure including 7 concepts, and the challenges of using Internet of Things were placed in three categories of online service infrastructure including 7 concepts, complex control infrastructure including 8 concepts, physical infrastructure (building smartness) including 6 concepts, and technology RFID was the most widely used technology to implement the Internet of Things.

Internet of Things is one of the most appropriate technologies in the current era in providing services and controlling library systems due to its high capability in facilitating, controlling and high efficiency in services and work processes in libraries. But according to the results, the application of this technology is faced with challenges such as lack of sufficient equipment, financial and administrative costs, lack of expert staff to repair the equipment when it breaks down, lack of familiarity of librarians with this technology, and high costs for its maintenance. There is no doubt that the use of Internet of Things technology in libraries will create a better future for libraries, however, the degree of acceptance by libraries and the use of this technology in the library depends on the challenges faced by libraries in using How many libraries will welcome this technology. Therefore, the use of this technology in libraries requires reflection by the authorities in this regard. Therefore, the use of this technology in libraries requires reflection by the authorities in this regard.

Future libraries may be significantly different from what is currently observed. The concept of a "smart library" could serve as a new and appropriate name for them. A smart library is an option to stay in the game and defend the essential assets of the library in the future smart society. The aim of the present study is to explore the dimensions and components of smart libraries by examining and analyzing texts in the field of smart libraries.

This qualitative research was conducted using the meta-synthesis method based on the seven-step model of Sandelowski and Barroso. Relevant scientific articles and publications on smart libraries were searched in reputable scientific databases without time and language restrictions, and a total of 1800 articles were retrieved. After removing duplicate titles and irrelevant articles, 194 articles were finally analyzed to identify the dimensions and components of smart libraries. Content analysis of texts was also performed using the MAXQDA software.

A total of 4336 codes were identified based on the content analysis of 194 articles. The identified codes were categorized into 8 dimensions and 76 components. These dimensions include technology, services, people, resources, space, governance and management, legal, ethical, social, cultural, political, innovation and creativity.

Although technology serves as the main factor and infrastructure of smart libraries, attention should be paid to other dimensions such as services, people, space, resources, governance and management, legal, ethical, social, cultural, political, innovation, and creativity in the design of smart libraries. However, it should be noted that in the design and implementation of a smart library, attention should be paid to the existing needs, facilities, equipment, and budget required. Each library may have different needs and resources that need to be considered. Therefore, the implementation of smart libraries requires a multidimensional approach that encompasses various key components.
