I'm not sure this article provides us with much in the way of practical tactics, but it's a pretty good summary of the current situation and the stakes when it comes to libraries and metadata. Also, this quote was just :chefkiss:
The disconnect between AI promises and library reality was already starkly apparent at the 2024 Ex Libris Users of North America (ELUNA) conference. While Ex Libris staff delivered polished presentations touting AI integration into every facet of their products, from customer service to cataloging, user sessions revealed a different story entirely. Librarians shared workarounds for basic functionality that had remained broken for years, struggling with vague documentation and systems that failed to deliver even simple results like getting resources to appear prominently in search results. The tension was palpable during Q&A sessions, where librarians voiced disinterest in AI features while grappling with fundamental system problems.
