The study holds immense importance in shedding light on the transformative role of libraries in contemporary academia. As the nature of research becomes increasingly interdisciplinary, understanding how libraries actively support and nurture this trend is crucial. By delineating the diverse services, resources, and outreach programs offered by libraries, this research underscores their pivotal position in shaping the trajectory of multidisciplinary humanities research. Moreover, recognizing the significance of libraries as cultural hubs contributes to the broader discourse on the evolving role of these institutions in the digital age. Originality of the Study: While numerous studies have explored the functions of libraries, this research brings a fresh perspective by specifically focusing on their role as cultural hubs within the context of multidisciplinary humanities research. The originality lies in the comprehensive examination of various facets--ranging from access to resources to collaborative spaces and specialized collections. This study aims to fill a gap in the existing literature by providing a detailed exploration of how libraries actively contribute to the richness and diversity of humanities research in the contemporary academic landscape. Outcome of the Study: The anticipated outcome of this study is a well-rounded understanding of how libraries function as cultural hubs and catalysts for multidisciplinary humanities research. By identifying best practices, challenges, and opportunities, the research aims to provide practical insights for librarians, researchers, and policymakers. The study's outcomes can inform strategic decisions for libraries seeking to enhance their support for diverse research endeavours. Ultimately, the research contributes to the ongoing dialogue on the evolving role of libraries, emphasizing their continued relevance and adaptability in an ever-changing academic environment.
