Unlocking AI power for simpler, more accurate metadata workflows
The rise of Academic AI is transforming how libraries manage metadata, streamline workflows and connect users with the resources they need. But what does this look like in practice? How can academic librarians utilize these innovations to achieve meaningful outcomes in a reliable manner?
Discover answers in this on-demand webinar – Developing Custom AI Workflows for Metadata Management – featuring expert teams from the University of Texas at Austin and the University of Toronto.
Why Watch This Webinar?
The 2025 Pulse of the Library survey* reveals that 67% of libraries are exploring or implementing AI. But most are just getting started. This webinar is your shortcut to practical, field-tested strategies from peers who are already making AI work for their libraries.
Here is what you can learn:
- How the University of Texas at Austin automates cataloging and organizes sound recordings, saving countless hours on archival processing.
- How the University of Toronto extracts and updates serial item information in Alma, turning unstructured descriptions into precise, actionable data.
- How both teams boost metadata accuracy and reduce manual labor—while keeping librarians’ expertise at the heart of every workflow.
Both institutions are able to enhance their metadata accuracy and reduce manual labor, all while keeping human expertise at the center of the process. These projects aren’t just about adopting new technology. They’re about solving real challenges and elevating the role of the library within the academic ecosystem. Watch the discussion here!
The human in control
AI is a powerful partner, but it’s librarians who set the direction. The webinar dives into how human expertise guides the development and application of Academic AI tools, ensuring transparency, academic integrity and user-centered solutions.
“AI can’t replace the expertise of librarians, but with thoughtful community feedback and careful design, it becomes a powerful partner—helping catalogers start faster, reduce manual effort, and unlock access to hidden collections.”
Lili Daie, Alma Product Manager and librarian, Academia & Government and moderator of the webinar.
