Streamlining Alma Metadata With AI (or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love ChatGPT)

Session Information

What would you do with an extra hour (or more) every day at work? This session explores how metadata professionals can reclaim valuable time through strategic use of AI-specifically, generative AI tools like Ex Libris' AI Metadata Assistant and CatalogGPT. Based on a real-world pilot program at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, this presentation walks attendees through before-and-after examples of catalog records, highlights core functionality and limitations of AI metadata tools, and provides a live demo of CatalogGPT and other AI extensions at work. Discover how AI is being practically integrated into day-to-day cataloging workflows, and how human oversight remains essential.
