Abstract

 

Blockchain that is known as the distributed database of records
or public ledgers of all transactions or digital events conducted
and shared by participants/nodes is a relatively young technology.
However, cryptocurrency was first to adopt this technology. Since
then, it is being used in many of the fields. The notion of blockchain
technology and its applications in library services are discussed in
this article.
Keywords: Blockchain; Distributed Database; Libraries.
