Practical Scenarios for Cataloging with Artificial Intelligence

Tuesday, April 29 @ 10:30 am - 11:30 am EDT

Cataloging

ChatGPT and other large language model tools (generative artificial intelligence (AI) entered the scene in late 2022, causing a stir around job security, ethics, and many other concerns and exploits. Library leaders began planning for AI in the workplace as early as 2018. Now that it is here, we have seen how AI fabricates false MARC records, providing some relief for job security for now. Yet AI can be a helpful tool when it comes to original.

This session will provide an overview of generative AI, discuss advantages and ethical concerns, and provide examples of how it fails to do cataloging. It will also provide scenarios for the use of generative AI as an everyday tool for cataloging.

Presenter: Bobby Bothmann is a professor at Minnesota State University, Mankato where he serves as the catalog and metadata librarian. Bobby catalogs analog and digital resources of all kinds, including books, serials, moving images, objects, cartographic resources, musical and spoken word audio recordings, and music in between many meetings. He is a member of the editorial board for Cataloging & Classification Quarterly and an active member of OLAC (OnLine Audiovisual Catalogers) where he has served in various roles including treasurer, president, and the current archivist.

He holds an MLIS from the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee and an MS in Geography and English Technical Communication from MSU Mankato. Bobby moonlights as an adjunct instructor for the School of Information Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where he teaches cataloging and classification courses and tries to covert one student per semester to the cataloging side of the Force.

The recording and handouts will be available on Niche Academy after the live event as well as our library of over 700 recorded sessions. To access Niche, go to: https://my.nicheacademy.com/floridalibrarywebinars
