At the recent School Library Association of NSW Summit in Parramatta, I attended a workshop focusing on the role of AI in the School Library Context. I was asking a question on how it would improve library management. Then I shared an account of how I manually catalogue an item on ChatGPT, applying the cataloguing procedures used by SCIS. This included uploading the procedures book (pdf format) into the chat, and it did a scan.
This situation arose because SCIS will not accept items without a publication date and needed to have them catalogued. The item was identified in a stocktake of the non-fiction collection as not being catalogued because the barcode was not connected to it.
Ultimately, it fixed a problem that would have left me in a difficult situation.
