In response to the growing demand for digital resources and services, this study investigates the current state
of digital transformation within academic libraries. The research explores how these institutions are adapting
to technological advancements and the evolving needs of their user communities. A mixed-method approach
was employed, combining qualitative insights from academic librarians with quantitative data analysis to
provide a comprehensive view of the transformation process. Key findings reveal that while academic libraries
have made significant strides in digital transformation, ongoing challenges remain. The study emphasizes the
critical role of technological infrastructure, organizational strategies, and human resources in facilitating this
transformation. The research highlights the importance of continuous assessment and strategic planning to
ensure that libraries not only keep pace with technological changes but also effectively meet user expectations.
To sustain progress, the study suggests that academic libraries invest in professional development, enhance
communication channels, and foster collaboration among staff. By addressing these areas, libraries can
navigate the complexities of digital transformation, ensuring their relevance and effectiveness in the digital age.
The implications of this study underscore that there is a need for a holistic approach to digital transformation
that integrates not only technology and organizational development but also human resource management.
