Artificial Intelligence Perspective for Smart Cities
The essential qualification for being a smart city is to achieve "sustainable social, environmental, and economic development" and boost the living standards of society based on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Artificial intelligence (AI). AI in smart cities has become an important aspect for cities that face great challenges to make smart decisions for social well-being, particularly cybersecurity and corporate sustainability. In this context, we aim to contribute literature with a value-added approach where various AI applications of smart cities are discussed from a different perspective.

🖨 Printing at the library
One of the most common questions we get asked by students at the library information desk is "How do I print?" There's a few steps to go through the first time you print, but once you're all set up, you'll find it fairly easy, so here's how...
- Add money to your SAIT e-card account. Use the e-card machine outside the library's west doors to load up your e-card with a balance (minimum $5) before you start to print.
- Log into a library workstation. Log in to a library computer, with your 6 digit student ID number (no leading zeros) and your SAIT email password. Download the file you want to print to the computer, and open.
- Adjust your print settings. The default setting for printing is double sided in black and white (at a cost of $0.20 per side) and it will send to the printer nearest your workstation. You can change this as necessary in the print settings, along with orientation, paper size, page range, etc. Bear in mind, our printers can only print in the following sizes: letter, tabloid or legal.
- Select "Print" & head to the printer to pick up your printing. Your document will enter the print queue or start printing. If it doesn't print, you may need to add money to your e-card account, or ask at the information desk for troubleshooting help.
Happy printing!
📄 Technical help sheets
If you need more information about how to use the multifunction library printers for scanning, photocopying or printing, or you need to know how to connect to the wireless network, we have printed technical help sheets at the printers and the information desk.
You can also find quick answers to common questions on our Library FAQ and Self-Help: Technical Help library guide. For technical help beyond this, go to the IT Help Desk in MB027 (outside of the library).
🏃️ In a hurry? Skip the line!
It’s getting busy in the library and sometimes you don’t have time to wait in line at the information desk. Did you know that you can:
- Self-checkout your books at the Meescan kiosk (to the right of the Information Desk) or via the app. Use your SAIT Student ID number to do this (e-Card not required). Just don’t forget to desensitize your books on the pad before leaving the library!
- Use one of our book drops for returns. There’s one to the left of the Information Desk, and one outside the library just before you leave Stan Grad by the east exit.
- Use the quick drop-off basket to the left of the information desk to return small electronic items like cables, chargers and headphones.
🪔 Diwali
We hope everyone had a Happy Diwali!
Thank you to Indrani Nath, our Copyright Technician, who decorated the front east area of the library with lights, diyas and Diwali decorations for the festivities. She displayed a selection of our books on Indian cooking, stories and legends, Indian culture, travel, and fiction by Indian authors! If you missed it, here's a photo:
Indrani celebrates Diwali every year and we asked her to describe what Diwali means to her:

SAIT is located on the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of Treaty 7 which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina and the Îyârhe Nakoda of Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney.
We are situated in an area the Blackfoot tribes traditionally called Moh’kinsstis, where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. We now call it the city of Calgary, which is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta.
