SURF gaat de samenwerkingsomgeving Nextcloud breed uitrollen. Na succesvolle ervaringen bij een interne pilot en een pilot met het AlgoSoc-consortium kunnen binnenkort ook de leden van SURF met Nextcloud aan de slag. We horen het graag als je interesse hebt in deze pilot. Vanaf januari 2026 is het mogelijk met Nextcloud aan de slag te gaan.

Happy Fibonacci Day!
You think you're inventing sequences at your desks, then find them already embedded in nautilus shells and petal arrangements, ancient as anything we'd ever excavate. Makes you wonder what else we're "discovering" that was never actually lost.
Mathematics as archaeology! ❤️

Absolutely! Without libraries, where would I be? They helped me grow, shaped my education and kept me informed ever since I first entered our small public library with my mum who would check out books for herself and little me to our shared delight.

Yeah, Hannes Lowagie's book on his experiences with AI-powered cataloguing at the Royal Library of Belgium is finally out and I have all day to dive into it. Having recently discussed AI in metadata workflows from a slightly more theoretical perspective, I hope for a practical and hands-on guide.

I can so related to this. 🙈 I tend to whip Copilot, but then I treat Claude completely differently. Maybe the locally installed interface is so much more beautiful? 🤔 UI has always had a great influence on my choice of (and now treatment of?) apps.

Super interesting discussion. I esp appreciated this analogy to explain why some scaffolding is needed to support emergent data structures and workflows: "building a graph structure is a bit like building an arch—you need all the pieces in place for it to be self-supporting"
New on Hanging Together. In a recent OCLC RLP discussion, metadata experts explored the technical, social, and AI-driven aspects of activating URIs and integrating linked data into library workflows.

What will AI be doing to help librarians with cataloguing in 2024? describing images, dealing with backlogs of e.g theses, dissertations; creating metadata at source (publishers). What won't it be doing? Anything that requires nuance. #UKSGForum2024 Annette Dortmund OCLC
