February 11, 2025. Digital collections are windows into our communities' stories and heritage, but connecting these stories with users isn't always easy. Libraries often face challenges like time-consuming metadata creation, fragmented tools, and barriers to access.

At Ex Libris, part of Clarivate, we believe these stories deserve to be seen, explored, and valued. With the help of artificial intelligence, libraries have new opportunities to make that happen. That's why we built Alma Specto, an AI-powered digital collection platform that brings all stages of collection management together, from cataloging to discovery and preservation. As highlighted on this webpage, with Alma Specto, libraries:

• Create metadata at scale with an AI-powered metadata assistant tailored for digital materials
• Make collections discoverable and engaging through SEO-optimized online exhibitions, and AI-generated suggestions for related materials
• Ensure long-term preservation with technology designed for digital assets

By focusing on today's challenges and providing the latest solutions available, Alma Specto helps libraries focus on sharing their collections' stories with the right audiences.
