    Study Notes

    Information Retrieval

    • AI-powered search engines can improve search results by:
      • Using natural language processing (NLP) to understand search queries
      • Implementing machine learning algorithms to rank results by relevance
      • Providing personalized search results based on user behavior and preferences
    • AI can help with query expansion, suggesting related terms and keywords to refine search results
    • AI-driven recommender systems can suggest relevant resources to users based on their search history and preferences

    Digital Collections

    • AI can aid in digitization efforts by:
      • Automating the process of scanning and OCRing physical materials
      • Enhancing image quality and removing noise
      • Providing metadata extraction and tagging for digital objects
    • AI-powered tools can help with digital preservation, ensuring long-term accessibility and integrity of digital collections
    • AI can facilitate discovery and access to digital collections by providing improved search and browse functionality

    Library Automation

    • AI can optimize library workflows by:
