Background of the Study

University digital libraries are an essential resource for academic research, providing access to a wide range of scholarly materials, journals, e-books, and other academic resources. As universities increasingly rely on digital platforms to store and share information, the risk of cybersecurity threats has grown significantly. Digital libraries, by their very nature, are targets for cyber-attacks, including data breaches, ransomware, phishing, and other malicious activities aimed at compromising the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the information they hold.

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into cybersecurity systems presents a promising solution for mitigating these threats. AI-based security systems can detect unusual patterns of activity, predict potential vulnerabilities, and automatically respond to security breaches in real-time, offering superior protection to traditional methods. In Maiduguri LGA, Borno State, where many universities have made significant strides in digitalizing their library systems, there is a need for a comprehensive analysis of AI-based cybersecurity solutions to safeguard these platforms. This study seeks to evaluate AI-based security systems' effectiveness in detecting and mitigating cybersecurity threats in university digital libraries in Maiduguri LGA.

Statement of the Problem

The digital library systems in universities located in Maiduguri LGA, Borno State, are increasingly vulnerable to cybersecurity threats, including unauthorized access, data theft, and malicious attacks on digital infrastructure. Traditional security measures often fall short in identifying and responding to evolving threats in real-time. The absence of advanced AI-based systems capable of detecting cyber threats early and effectively limits the protection of valuable academic resources. This study will analyze AI-based cybersecurity threats in university digital libraries and assess the potential of AI to improve security measures in these institutions.

Objectives of the Study

1. To analyze the types of cybersecurity threats faced by university digital libraries in Maiduguri LGA, Borno State.

2. To assess the effectiveness of AI-based systems in detecting and mitigating cybersecurity threats in university digital libraries.

3. To identify challenges and opportunities in implementing AI-driven cybersecurity measures in digital library systems.

Research Questions

1. What are the most common cybersecurity threats faced by university digital libraries in Maiduguri LGA, Borno State?

2. How effective are AI-based security systems in detecting and mitigating cybersecurity threats in university digital libraries?

3. What challenges are associated with implementing AI-based cybersecurity systems in university digital libraries?

Research Hypotheses

1. AI-based cybersecurity systems are more effective than traditional methods in detecting and mitigating threats in university digital libraries.

2. The implementation of AI-based security systems reduces the frequency of successful cyber-attacks on digital libraries.

3. There are significant challenges in implementing AI-based cybersecurity solutions in university digital libraries in Maiduguri LGA.

Significance of the Study

The findings of this study will provide valuable insights into how AI can enhance cybersecurity measures in university digital libraries. By demonstrating the effectiveness of AI-based systems, this research will help university administrators in Maiduguri LGA better protect their digital resources. Additionally, the results can inform cybersecurity strategies for other educational institutions across Nigeria, contributing to the broader adoption of AI in cybersecurity.

Scope and Limitations of the Study

The study will focus on universities in Maiduguri LGA, Borno State, specifically examining their digital library systems and the effectiveness of AI-based cybersecurity tools. Limitations include the availability of data on cyber-attacks, technological infrastructure, and resistance to adopting AI solutions.
