Abstract

Smart is a network which allows free access to all digital libraries in the electronic society. Smart libraries is a cyber-security and well-being behavior change program designed to equip libraries and link users of libraries with the skills they need to use technology in a smart, healthy and responsible manner. Being smart means knowing how to protect against online security and privacy threats, downloading content in a legal and ethical way, researching and referencing information, and managing cyberspace reputations and relationships. Smart helps to incorporate a culture of constructive use of technology, establish policies, processes, and gain access to evidence-informed resources and track progress in being intelligent. The term internet is a major component of daily life, and libraries are the information centers that are at the forefront of delivering the resources required to access and support the community. Smart enables libraries to provide a good atmosphere in which people can experience feelings of security, become part of real and virtual communities, and learn the skills they need. We believe that community-based acts such as smart libraries can really push e-safety worldwide as a cultural standard in communities.
