Project Abstract

Abstract
In recent years, the integration of virtual reality (VR) technology in education has gained significant attention for its potential to enhance learning experiences. This research explores the utilization of VR technology for interdisciplinary collaboration in library science education. The study aims to investigate how VR can be leveraged to facilitate collaboration among students and educators from diverse academic backgrounds within the context of library science education. The research begins with a comprehensive review of the existing literature on VR technology in education, interdisciplinary collaboration, and library science education. This review highlights the benefits, challenges, and opportunities associated with integrating VR technology in educational settings, particularly in fostering interdisciplinary collaboration. Following the literature review, the research methodology section outlines the design and implementation of a qualitative study that includes interviews, surveys, and observations to gather data from students and educators participating in VR-based interdisciplinary collaboration activities. The methodology also includes a description of the VR tools and platforms used in the study, as well as the data analysis techniques employed to interpret the findings. The findings from the study reveal the impact of utilizing VR technology on interdisciplinary collaboration in library science education. The results demonstrate how VR simulations, virtual environments, and collaborative tools can enhance communication, knowledge sharing, and problem-solving skills among participants from different disciplines. Additionally, the study identifies the challenges and limitations of integrating VR technology in interdisciplinary collaboration and provides insights into overcoming these obstacles. The discussion section delves into the implications of the research findings for practice, policy, and future research in the field of library science education. It explores the potential applications of VR technology for fostering interdisciplinary collaboration in other educational contexts and offers recommendations for educators, policymakers, and technology developers interested in leveraging VR for educational purposes. In conclusion, this research contributes to the growing body of literature on the use of VR technology in education and interdisciplinary collaboration. By highlighting the benefits and challenges of utilizing VR for interdisciplinary collaboration in library science education, this study provides valuable insights for educators and researchers seeking to enhance collaborative learning experiences through immersive technologies.
