Abstract
Covid-19 has highly affected the university library visit routine of students and faculty members. To investigate this further, university students were interviewed, and it was found out that they were quite concerned about their safety and health when visiting the library in Covid-19. To cater this, a smart interactive system is designed, which helps the students and faculty members avoid high-risk situations inside the library and can optimally manage their library visits. The system has two main components i.e. a public display and a mobile interface. Both the public display and the mobile interface were evaluated by university students in order to understand whether this system met the user needs and expectations as expressed during the informing phase. The results and their implications for the designs of similar systems are discussed.
