Ex Libris AI Products – Weekly Topical Bugs/Issues. What ongoing bugs/issues have you encountered, and in what product?
by Pate, Davin May 2, 2025

May 2, 2025

Hi Everyone, I thought I would start a discussion this week on any known bugs you have seen and any resulting support cases that you may have submitted to Ex Libris. This can be on any Ex Libris AI product. Any bugs shares will be compiled and shared with the respective working groups. I would also share any Clarivate/ProQuest bugs as well, as Clarivate staff are part of this listserv. Thanks again, Davin Pate, M.L.S.

Responding to Debbie’s point about using the AI Metadata Assistant to create 65X fields, I have frequently thought this would be the “killer” feature for certain categories of materials, especially ETDs. However, after extensive testing, I have found that it is not reliable for this. The choices are often incomplete (lacking appropriate subdivisions, e.g.) and more troubling, in at least one case, they were flat out wrong, giving me a supposedly valid LCSH that was actually a See reference to a different one. If your interest is in figuring out a way to more reliably guide you in assigning LCSH, you are better off turning to the LCSH Recommendation Tool (https://www.kwokleongtang.net/tools/2025_03_lcsh_browser_extension/lcsh_bro…) However, it, too, has significant flaws and should be used very carefully. Another problem with Ex Libris’s AI Metadata Editor is that it can’t tell the difference between a creator and a contributor. If a work has a creator, that should (normally) be the main entry, e.g., a 100 for a personal name. If a contributor, e.g., editor or compiler, it should never be put into a 1xx but should instead go in a 7xx. Maybe I’m feeling grumpier than usual but so far, to quote Shania Twain, that don’t impress me much.

I’ve been doing a lot of original cataloging lately and after I import the bib record into Alma, I like to run the “Enhance with AI Assistant” feature. I like to have as many access points as possible, especially in the 65X fields, and find the feature useful for that. The problem is that it repeats other fields unnecessarily, e.g., I will have an author in the 100 field and the AI Assistant will create a 700 field with the exact same information. Just yesterday, I was working on a bulletin from the 1800s and AI Assistant automatically added 490/830 fields, even though this bulletin wasn’t part of a series. I like and will continue to use the feature, but I will continue to review each record for accuracy.
