“…Sensor-based library facility with the tracing system allows users to identify different sections and guide users in stack areas to quickly pinpoint a document. As GPS is inapplicable in indoor areas, Uttarwar and Chong (2017) spoke about BeaLib – a Bluetooth-enabled indoor navigation technique to guide users on the campus and inside the library to a stack area. The BeaLib guides users to a specific rack to track down a resource of need based on the proximity sensor without any human intervention, as used in the Aukland University of Technology Library.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to analyze the existing literature on the application of the Internet of Things (IoT) and to give an overview of how libraries are adopting this emerging technology to make users feel more engaging with the library resources and service provision. Design/methodology/approach The basic architecture of IoT with its functionality has been enumerated and its different layers have been depicted. Findings A conceptual library IoT model, working on Message Queuing Telemetry Transport protocol, based on the fog-cloud computing layer of architecture has been proposed. This study also highlights the sensor-based current library services. Originality/value This study focuses on the existing practices of adoption of library IoT and discusses the possibilities of its future expansion in different areas.

“…Also, Uttarwar and Chong (2017) added that Global Positioning Systems (GPS) receivers are used for outdoor navigation, which are the part of recent smartphones and tablet devices. However, GPS are not suitable for indoor navigations because of their signal limitations which are blocked by ceiling and walls.…”

Many tourism destinations have to use i-Beacons technique to remain competitive and attractive. This technique is a smart marketing tool that facilitates all aspects of tourism, travel and transportation. It can achieve many advantages for tourism organizations, make a direct communication with customers and provide a distinctive customers experience through providing accurate proximity information and personalized offers and suggestions to loyal customers to improve their experience and increase loyalty. The aims of this research are to explore the requirements of applying i-Beacons technique in the Egyptian destination, identify the positive aspect of applying i-Beacons technology, and explore the obstacles to applying such technique. Based on convenience sample, the primary data has been collected using qualitative in-depth interviews with information technology specialists in tourism organizations. The study figured out that the available network at the Egyptian destination is efficient to provide multiple technological services to tourists, and able to accommodate the introduction of new smart techniques such i-Beacons. But, there is a lack of awareness of this technology due to the novelty of its use in Egypt. So, the awareness should be raised through promotion influencing users, whether visual, audio, and print. As well as, conferences, workshops and training for Egyptian employees in information technology and tourism field. These findings have important insights for tourism policymakers as it can enable them to identify the current situation of technological facilities and assist them to emerge i-Beacons technique in the marketing strategies, in order to enhance the customers' satisfaction. The study suggests the improvement of employees' awareness on the importance of using new technologies in their tourism business.

<p class="0abstract">A cost-effective smart team management system using iOS devices as iBeacon for better task monitoring and presence detection is proposed in this work. It is designed to maximum utilize the proximity information offered by iOS devices through iBeacon integration. In addition to this positioning service, iOS core location framework, geofencing and push notifications features are also included in this work, to create a productive environment in an organization. Along with the employee tracking and task monitoring features, the proposed application provides the typical project management services like task allocation and notification, instant chat, status report, and employee log. On entering the iBeacon range, daily task details and announcements from all associated teams will be available in team member devices. The system is connected to a server for productive team management, and peer to peer communication is utilized for instant exchange of information. An experimental evaluation to study the effect of interference, obstacles, and measured power on received signal strength and accuracy of the proposed iBeacon is also conducted. The observed results positively recommend the proposed app as an efficient iBeacon application for project management.</p>
