Baseball aside, Kirill gave a well-planned and clearly delivered presentation to the BLC Metadata and Resource Management COI, introducing many of them for the first time to AI tools used for cataloging tasks. Lots of use cases, and lots of questions asked
and answered, and stimulating conversation. Well planned out = no glitches, going between the presentation and live demonstrations seamlessly! It was an excellent meeting! </div>
