[Eril-l] AI tools/features in library databases

[Electronic Resources in Libraries discussion list]

Perhaps adding a section to the AI4LAM awesome list would be appropriate for this task as well? https://sites.google.com/view/ai4lam/awesome-list?authuser=0  Here is the suggest an addition link: https://forms.gle/aPA41GT5AmbxrTwq5  I’ll go ahead and submit this entire thread as a suggestion to add these type of resources to the list.

As an aside, there is a subgroup in AI4LAM attempting to come up with some rubrics and testing data sets that can be used to automate testing and scoring of various LLMs similarly to how you see different LLM performance scores online for different domains: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1pSpEnb50V75mVDcjUTSl9rNFMInZrIIZ2xBCBhVVy2M/edit#slide=id.g3278ecb0a70_0_86

If you have an interest in helping with this endeavor, please see this slack channel: https://ai4lam.slack.com/archives/C08AR0NNE8N  Feel free to say hello and give a little background about yourself and how you see yourself contributing to the effort.

Thanks!
Dean
