<b><span style="color:black">Patrick Conners</span></b><span style="color:black">, Catalog Librarian at Akron Public Library, will present “<b>Generative AI vs. the Catalog Librarian: Practical and Not-So Practical Uses of AI</b>." This presentation will explore
how generative AI tools like Gemini and ChatGPT can be used in daily tasks and how they might be included in your workflow. We'll look at its use in metadata creation, help with translation and transliteration, and how it can be used to clean-up and enhance
vendor records. This presentation aims to spark ideas of how freely available generative AI technology can be beneficial to cataloging workflows.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<b><span style="color:black">Chloe Misorski</span></b><span style="color:black">, Cataloging Librarian at the Ingalls Library at the Cleveland Museum of Art, will present “<b>Labels in the Recipe Box: Considerations for Physical and Digital Access</b>.” The
Ingalls Library at the Cleveland Museum of Art has undergone a project to increase collection diversity by acquiring photobooks by marginalized photographers. To support access for different types of patrons, these materials require a specialized workflow
from acquisitions, to cataloging, to processing. Chloe will describe additional metadata access points for these collections as well as editing the display of metadata to users. She will also discuss how these materials receive specialized processing because
of their dual role as library materials and art objects. These decisions support the specialized access needs of museum professionals as well as the access needs of the general public.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<b><span style="color:black">Sandy Jelar Elwell</span></b><span style="color:black">, Director of Collection and Technical Services and
<b>Libby McCuan</b>, Technical Services Librarian at Cleveland Public Library, will present “<b>Picture Book Categories: Adapting Technical Services Workflows for Public Service Demands</b>.” The decision to assign categories for picture books and transition
to shelving picture books in bins was introduced as part of the Cleveland Public Library’s Facilities Master Plan (FMP). It was first implemented in the ReImagined Branches that reopened in 2022 and then at all locations starting in 2023. Sandy will discuss
the details for the behind-the-scenes implementation and how it was integrated into the workflow. Libby will provide insight as a previous Children’s Librarian of the impact of the categories in public services and as the current Technical Services Librarian
responsible for assigning the categories to new picture books.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
