 The researcher conducted a survey of (58) sources of information related to this intellectual production through three areas: Chat-GPT applications, technical operations in libraries, and library and information services. The researcher also followed the bibliographic bibliometric approach in the statistical analysis of intellectual production, and the descriptive analytical approach to the characteristics of this production, after searching in the various sources of this intellectual production across various websites and global databases. Scientific journal articles, conference research, and books were examined, while summaries of university theses and book reviews published on the Internet were excluded. The most prominent results of the study include a lack of intellectual production in the Arabic language, and the recommendation of the importance of continuing to study global experiences in the field of using Chat-GPT technology in libraries to identify lessons learned, deal with the challenges it imposes, and seek to develop a code of conduct to ensure respect for confidentiality and privacy.
