Catalogers can train the AI Metadata Editor to work in sync with the AI Metadata Search Assistant to automatically associate local or colloquial search terms used by students, with established broader subject headings. Once trained, AI Metadata Search Assistant will intelligently find relevant associated titles when searching your catalogue. This will save staff time, reduce the work needed to ensure books are more easily found, and deliver more success when students search. The AI Metadata Editor makes record creation and enrichment easier, while ensuring libraries and catalogers are in full control of MARC21 catalogue data.

Train Your Metadata Assistant

1. Go to: Menu > Authorities > Subject
2. Locate an authority subject heading you would like to train.
3. - open the AI Metadata Editor. Note: The AI Metadata Editor complements your See Also references.
4. Metadata Terms - click to type a term. Note: A term can be one word, multiple words, or a phrase per row.
5. Select an existing term from the list that matches as you type, or choose your new term from the top of the list. Note: If the only term in the list is the term you typed, then it is treated as a new term.
6. See Also Records - click to choose a subject from the subject authority file. Note: Only subjects in your authority file will be listed.
7. - add your new term for the displayed subject.
8. Return to Step 4 above to add more terms as required.
9. - to save your terms for this subject

The AI Metadata Editor can be used to train any subject heading in your subject authority file with words, phrases, colloquial terms, and even some foreign languages. Once trained for a specific subject heading the AI Search Assistant will automatically apply this intelligence to every book currently in your catalogue and any new books added to your catalogue.

Note: When searching your catalogue, the AI Metadata Search Assistant is quite tolerant of misspelling but should you discover a misspelling that the Assistant can't correct, you can use the AI Metadata Editor to train AI Metadata Search Assistant using that misspelling as a new term for the relevant subject.
