Literacka is a partner in the project “Artificial intelligence in the service of books” co-financed by Norwegian funds under the “Culture” Program from the EEA Financial Mechanism 2014-2021. The project leader is the Raczyński Library, the partners are Literacka Sp. z o. o., City of Poznań, NORLA (Norwegian Literature Abroad), Book Institute.
Project implementation time: 01/10/2020 – 30/09/2022.
Co -financing amount: PLN 1,694,184.26.
The project consists in building competences among managers and employees of public libraries in the field of using innovative methods of selecting and purchasing new items for libraries, cataloging and sharing library resources, innovative methods of recommending literature readers based on their expectations and the content of borrowed and purchased books, districts with low library availability.
Anna Gruszecka, director of the Raczyński Library, about the project “Artificial Intelligence in the Service of Books”. The main goal of the project is to develop reading in Poland by increasing the competences of library employees, using innovative tools in the field of new technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI) and the exchange of good practices developed together with a partner from Norway.
The result of the project will be a book of good practices, and its implementation in the activities of the Raczyński Library in Poznań will serve as a kind of case study for libraries all over the country. The result of the project will be the development of the library as an institution building active relations between the reader, creator and literary critic, the development of entrepreneurship as a result of the project implementation in partnership with a start-up from the creative industry (Literary Technologies) and culture.
In order to achieve the assumed goals, it was planned to build competences among managers and employees of public libraries, as well as other institutions involved in the development of literature in the field of:
innovative methods of selecting and purchasing novelties for libraries, cataloging and sharing library resources, innovative methods of recommending literature readers based on their expectations and the content of borrowed and purchased books, the use of a network of book machines in districts with low library availability. As part of the Literacka project, she is responsible for the implementation of a new publication recommendation system for librarians. The system will allow for faster analysis of new books and will be connected with the purchasing system. This way, new books will be delivered to the Library as quickly as they will be to bookstores. In approx. A recommendation system will be implemented in 40 libraries of the Greater Poland Voivodeship, which will “tell” the reader what books they can borrow, based on the analysis of the existing data. In addition, as part of the new publishing purchase system, the process of notifying about book return dates, improvements in the payment for keeping books, the process of borrowing with the PEKA card, implementation of analytical tools enabling “better understanding” of the reader will be optimized. The project will include a pilot program for the use of book machines, i.e. borrowing at the reader’s request (SMS / e-mail) and returning books using special devices (order-pick-up-return).
