Strengthen Your Library’s Impact
Built in AI capabilities, like the Alma Metadata Assistant, work within familiar workflows to improve metadata quality, help libraries scale labor intensive metadata activities, and reinforce librarian expertise rather than replace it.
“With this powerful tool [Alma Metadata Assistant], we can improve our efficiency and workflow, and guarantee at the same time expert interpretation when needed and necessary to oversee and ensure the quality of the metadata.”
Mingyan Li, Metadata Librarian, University of Illinois Chicago
