Alma Specto

is now available

Reveal your library’s hidden collections

and unlock the full potential of your library’s digital collections

We are excited to announce that Alma Specto is now officially available for all libraries! Built on the Alma library services platform, Alma Specto is a next generation digital asset management platform that helps you reveal your library’s hidden collections and makes it easier to manage, showcase and preserve your digital assets.

With Alma Specto, you can:

Create rich metadata at scale:
Automate entity extraction, bulk cataloguing and AI-driven metadata enrichment.
Enhance discovery and engagement:
Create and publish SEO-optimized digital showcases using predefined templates, in a flexible and intuitive interface. Let your users explore collections benefiting from linked data and entity highlighting.

Meg Colbert, Assistant Dean of Libraries, University of Maine and Merrill Library Coordinator, University of Maine at Machias said: “As an early adopter of Alma Specto, University of Maine Libraries valued the opportunity to help shape a platform designed specifically for libraries and cultural heritage collections. What stood out most was Alma Specto’s ability to integrate rich digital content directly into the library ecosystem, rather than isolating it in a separate repository. For our librarians, faculty, and users, this means improved discovery, stronger preservation workflows, and a more seamless experience connecting scholarship, teaching, and collections in one place.”

Boost visibility, engagement and reputation

Alma Specto empowers library staff to improve metadata quality and make collections easier to discover. Users enjoy an immersive, intuitive way to explore historical treasures, while institutions build a stronger reputation and reach through more compelling storytelling.

Next-Generation Digital Asset Management

Make your digital collections accessible,
engaging, and effortless.

Alma Specto enhances how libraries manage and present digital materials, accelerating metadata creation, linking related assets, and offering dynamic tools to share collections online.

From untapped resources to intelligent discovery

Libraries hold immense cultural and historical value in their digital assets. Yet, much of it remains invisible, trapped behind manual cataloging, incomplete metadata, and limited discovery tools.  Alma Specto transforms these challenges into opportunities through AI-powered cataloging, smart metadata enrichment, and immersive discovery experiences, helping you reveal, connect, share and preserve your collections effortlessly.
