Abstract With the aid of libraries, the research aims to assist businesses in swiftly and accurately acquiring knowledge and insights from scholarly literature to guide their inventive and decision-making processes. The foundation for achieving the goal is connected pa-pers technology. The author's professional expertise in performing literature reviews using connected papers technology as well as using other ways and corresponding with entrepreneurs and librarians impacted the article's research methodology. The use of connected papers technology in the library context for helping entrepreneurs is discussed. Libraries and entrepreneurs could benefit from using Connected Papers technology to quickly compile pertinent data from scholarly literature to solve business challenges. According to the paper, adopting this technology can speed up information gathering and drastically reduce the time needed for business owners to search through bibliographic databases. Using this technology can help entrepreneurs at various phases of their entrepreneurial journeys and give libraries a productive way to assist business owners with their information needs. This paper's novelty comes from its examination of the usage of connectedpapers.com technology to compile data from scholarly literature to assist entrepreneurs in solving their business problems. The useful advice this paper offers entrepreneurs and librarians is what makes it valuable. By using connectedpapers.com technology, businesses may be able to get critical information from scholarly literature to foster a series of experimentation quickly and effectively. Also, librarians can help their patrons with systematic re-views and other research services by using this application.

Abstract The purpose of this research study is to empirically investigate the FIGMA prototyping technology adoption factors among Entrepreneurship and Innovation Libraries for providing support to startups by developing and evolving the prototype solutions in collaboration with health libraries. This study uses the Technology Adoption Model (TAM) as a framework and the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using SmartPLS 3.2.9 software version to investigate the prototyping adoption factors among Entrepreneurship and Innovation libraries for rural health innovations. A total of 40 libraries, spread over 16 Entrepreneurship and Innovation libraries, participated in this survey, including participants from Europe (35%), Asia (15%), and America (50%). The findings show that Previous Experience, Social Impact, Brand Image, and System Quality have a significant positive impact on Entrepreneurship and Innovation libraries' Perceived Usefulness (PU) of prototyping technology. Perceived ease of use of prototype technology is positively influenced by usability, training materials and documentation, experience, and self-efficacy. Together, Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Ease of Use have a significant influence on behavioural intention. Behavioural Intention is positively impacted by minimal investment and shallow learning curve. Technology adoption is furthered by behavioural intention. The control variables, for instance location, gender, and work experience (as librarian) were found not having any impact on FIGMA technology adoption. Through strategic partnerships with other libraries (including health libraries), policy makers, and technology providers, the adoption of prototype technology can be further accelerated. The important ramifications for policy makers, technology providers, public and Entrepreneurship and Innovation libraries to create a self-reliant innovation ecosystem to foster rural health innovation based on entrepreneurship are also listed in the article. This research is distinctive since it integrates several areas of study, including entrepreneurship, advances in rural healthcare, and libraries. A novel idea that hasn't been thoroughly investigated is the collaboration between Entrepreneurship and Innovation libraries and health libraries for supporting businesses. This study offers insights into the factors that drive technology adoption and offers practical advice for policy makers and technology providers. It also advances understanding of the adoption of FIG-MA prototyping technology among libraries for rural health innovation. Overall, this study provides a novel viewpoint on the nexus between different disciplines, showing the opportunity for cooperation and innovation in favour of rural health.
