    Libraries as Data Repositories for Smart City projects
    (INFLIBNET Centre, Gandhinagar, 2019-11) Bharanidharan, S; Krishnan, Vijay; Krishnamoorthy, G
    Libraries play a key role in the development of their communities. Information available in a library is valuable to the community for its development. Archives and records about a place or geographical community is a repository of the history of developments in that location. These can span various aspects of governance and administration from land use to water supply, from transportation to electricity, and others. From villages to cities, various records are collected and historical data is available. Indian customs and traditions could impact such records. Computerization of records has made them easily accessible. Smart city implementations can involve data collection and analytics for the benefit of their communities. There are privacy concerns around data from IoT and other technology platforms. Libraries have contributed to smart city developments. In places where there is conflict around control or access to such data, libraries can offer data archival, governance and analytical services so that smart city project data can benefit the intended communities.
