Background of the study
AI-based user profiling is redefining personalized learning by tailoring library services to individual user preferences and learning styles. At Kebbi State University of Science and Technology Library, Aliero, advanced AI systems analyze users’ search histories, borrowing patterns, and interaction data to create detailed profiles. These profiles enable the library to offer personalized recommendations, customized study plans, and targeted learning resources that enhance academic performance (Abubakar, 2023). By leveraging machine learning and data analytics, the system continuously refines its understanding of user needs, thereby improving the relevance of personalized content and fostering a more engaging learning environment. The integration of user profiling into library services not only supports individualized learning but also drives better resource utilization. Nevertheless, challenges such as data privacy concerns, algorithmic biases, and the need for continuous data quality improvement remain. This study evaluates the effectiveness of AI-based user profiling in enhancing personalized learning experiences, focusing on its impact on student engagement and academic outcomes (Ibrahim, 2024).
Statement of the problem
Despite the potential of AI-based user profiling to enhance personalized learning, Kebbi State University of Science and Technology Library faces obstacles in its implementation. Issues include data privacy concerns, limited accuracy in capturing user behavior, and challenges related to maintaining up-to-date user profiles. These factors reduce the overall effectiveness of personalized recommendations, thereby impacting student satisfaction and learning outcomes. The study aims to identify these challenges and propose strategies to improve user profiling systems for better personalized learning (Uche, 2024).
