Abstract
The prospects presented by digital transformation holds the potential of greatly increasing the capacity of medical libraries, which in turn it will make it possible for these libraries to provide better services and increasing accessibility. But how can digital technologies be adopted in transforming medical libraries' services and operations, in the digital transformation era? This study looked at the opportunities and challenges associated with implementing digital technologies in medical libraries through digital transformation. The study thus reviewed literature on digital transformation of medical libraries services, as a way to support healthcare systems in South Africa. The chapter revealed that digital transformation has the potential to enhance libraries processes, practices, performance, and to stay relevant in their increasingly competitive environment.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
