Not long ago, artificial intelligence felt like something far on the horizon - a promise for the future. Today, AI is already part of everyday library life, changing how librarians work, make decisions, and connect with their communities. In this session, experts from Ex Libris’ Alma will share how the closeknit Alma user community is helping shape the future of libraries through collaboration and shared innovation. Participants will learn how AI is being applied in practical ways - from streamlining copy cataloging and suggesting subject headings to generating insights from library data that support informed, data-driven decisions. The session will introduce Alma Insights, which makes library data easier to access and interpret; explore how AI agents and assistants can assist staff in daily tasks; discuss upcoming developments for AI Metadata and cataloging; and examine how AI can increase the visibility of collections to patrons as an integrated part of the patron experience. Whether you’re curious about automation, planning for the future, or looking to elevate your library’s impact, this webinar offers inspiration, practical examples, and a glimpse into what’s possible when librarians and AI work together.
