ULS Strategy
- Utilize existing AI tools to improve access to information, enhance existing services, or as the basis of new services.
- Identify and partner with researchers on the development of tools, models, etc. where it makes sense and where mutual benefit exists.
- Support campus AI literacy by offering classes and workshops.
- Foster an AI literate ULS acknowledging that different roles will need different areas and levels of expertise (e.g., subject experts develop expertise in AI tools in their discipline(s)).
- Be a source of data (full-text, structured data, etc.) from both library-owned and library-leased sources for use in campus AI and ML initiatives.
ULS Projects
- The library was involved in an NEH grant proposal, "Linking voices across time: a federated AI approach to connecting Japanese visual cultural heritage collections." Partners included Rutgers University and Durham University.
- Using Transkribus to read and transcribe handwritten archival content
- Will be investigating the use of Annif, a tool for automated subject indexing and classification
