From Access to Intelligence: Transforming Academic Libraries through AI-Enriched Ecosystems - The VinUni Model

As artificial intelligence reshapes higher education, academic libraries must evolve from information providers into intelligent partners in learning, research, and innovation. This poster presents how VinUniversity Library (Vietnam) is transforming into an AI-enriched academic library through the implementation of an AI-Enriched Library Framework built on five interconnected dimensions: Access, Interaction, Creation, Connection, and Immersion. The framework integrates AI across core library services, including AI-powered research assistance, interactive digital publications featuring "chat-with-the-book" functionality, the AI Knowledge Cloud for institutional knowledge discovery, and an AI-driven Problem Lab that fosters interdisciplinary collaboration and real-world problem solving. Through practical examples and visual demonstrations, the poster illustrates how these innovations enhance user engagement, personalize learning experiences, and position the library as a strategic partner in institutional transformation. By sharing a scalable and practical model from an emerging higher education institution, this poster contributes to the conference theme, "Libraries Powering Transformation," demonstrating how academic libraries can leverage AI to accelerate digital transformation, strengthen research and teaching, and create sustainable, future-ready learning ecosystems.
