The Project
The Fully Algorithmic Librarian (FAN) project investigates application scenarios of AI-based methods for research support services - especially for publication support - in academic libraries in Berlin. The goal is to further develop and publish publication metrics on graphs and to test their application in libraries.
Organization
The project is carried out by the Cooperative Library Network Berlin-Brandenburg (KOBV), which connects the library landscape of Berlin and Brandenburg and performs important tasks for the member libraries at a central location. KOBV is the only library network in Germany that is affiliated with a research institute. The close proximity to science and research makes it possible to develop and test groundbreaking procedures in information management and to ensure continuous innovation. The KOBV benefits significantly from the Zuse Institute Berlin (ZIB)'s orientation as a research institute for applied mathematics and data-intensive high-performance computing.
