Blockchain technology is emerging as a transformative tool in record management, offering enhanced security, transparency, and efficiency. In the context of library systems, traditional record-keeping is often plagued by issues such as data manipulation, loss, and lack of interoperability. This study explores the integration of blockchain technology in library record management to streamline cataloging, circulation, digital rights management, and user data security. The research investigates the potential benefits, challenges, and realworld applications of blockchain in libraries. Through a combination of literature review, case studies, and
expert analysis, the study proposes a viable framework for implementing blockchain in library operations.
