Abstract:
Academic Social Networks, or ASNSs, are gaining popularity as a means of communication, networking, and knowledge sharing among academics worldwide. Librarians can use ASNS to significantly increase their visibility and gain the respect of their academic communities as knowledge stewards at academic institutions. The study's main objective is to highlight the importance of academic social networks for knowledge transfer in the academic community. The foundation of this study is an extensive review of the literature on ASNS, which includes details on advantages and disadvantages. The primary objective of the data analysis was to identify the many attributes and potential applications of ASNS among academics to foster existential recognition and global consciousness.
