Igniting the power within existing workflows, while keeping librarians in control
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.
Across higher education, conversations about AI are no longer theoretical. The Pulse of the Library 2025*, a survey conducted by Clarivate of thousands of librarians worldwide, reports that 67% of libraries are now exploring or implementing AI, yet most describe themselves as still in the early stages of that journey. What’s striking is not just the growing interest in AI, but the way librarians are approaching it: thoughtfully, pragmatically and with a clear focus on professional values.
“The most effective AI tools are the ones that meet people where they already are. When AI is embedded in discovery, it helps users move forward with their research without changing how they engage with the library.”
Michael Gonzalez, University Librarian, University of Technology Sydney
