Abstract
A table of contents and summary are important metadata that improve the discoverability and description of our materials. They are optionally included in catalog records, though, because transcribing these by hand is time intensive.
We sought the most efficient way to scan and AI format the table of contents pages for inclusion in the 505 field of catalog records. We explored different AI software, iterative prompting and the time-effectiveness of the process, in comparison to hand-typed metadata fields.
