Framework for assessing the implications of <scp>5G</scp> technology on remote health library service provision

Technological advancements and emergence of 5G technology have significantly improved health library services. Although Wi-Fi offers many benefits in establishing smart libraries, the enhanced connectivity among a large number of devices reduces latency between input and output, and robust security demonstrates the enhanced potential for 5G technology in health libraries. In this paper, we highlight five dimensions to support health libraries in the development and evaluation of 5G technologies in facilitating remote health library and information services. The five dimensions are: technological infrastructure, technology integration into health libraries, remote health information services, user readiness, and external support.
