AI coffee morning - July

We had over 100 colleagues for this event as we discussed the metadata and AI. Mark Hughes, Head of Library Services at Cardiff Metropolitan University talked about the discussions undertaken at the recent SCONUL Plan M event around the use of AI in the metadata sphere and Lisa McLaren, Deputy Director at SCONUL, outlined the work being undertaken in the US to implement BibFrame, in a project called BlueCore.

Our subsequent discussion looked at these issues in more detail, including how robust AI generated records are in reality and what experimentation is going on in this area. It appears this is a fast moving field that will need to be revisited in a future coffee morning.
