Collections of digitized materials are growing faster than metadata can be added; can Large Language Models (LLMs) be one solution for consistent, quality metadata? The AI Metadata Creation Project at the University of Texas at Austin aimed to explore whether
LLMs can offer a solution for improving the efficiency of developing metadata for large, digitized collections. Using a collection of digitized architectural publications, the group tested seven different models, using both APIs and web interfaces to test
their ability in generating metadata, specifically subject headings, summaries of content, and named entities, as well as efficacy in metadata preparation tasks like Optical Character Recognition (OCR) of digitized materials. Our presentation will examine
our preliminary findings as well as our testing workflow, so that it can serve as a model for others wishing to evaluate LLMs.<br>
<br>
Leveraging expertise in metadata, collections, and technical tools, project members evaluated which tools to apply to the testing, created standardized testing criteria and a grading system, and met frequently to evaluate the results. Members are currently
finalizing recommendations via a report, which investigates the efficiency of the LLMs in terms of results, cost, and time.<br>
<br>
As this project nears completion, preliminary results suggest several models can sufficiently perform metadata creation tasks, but still lack accuracy in certain aspects such as subject headings and handling offensive language. Responsible, cautious, and targeted
implementation of LLMs could greatly improve access to libraries' digital collections.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
