AI coffee morning

SCONUL’s last AI coffee morning of 2026 will take place on 27 November at 10am, and will focus on AI and cataloguing. We’ll hear from Hannes Lowagie, Head of Bibliographic Information Agency at the Royal Library of Belgium. He oversees cataloguing processes and ensures metadata quality. His current focus is on integrating AI into cataloguing workflows and applying RDA and international cataloguing standards. He wrote the AI-Powered Cataloguing: A Practical Guide to Building a Cataloguing Application with Power Apps and was recently awarded the AI4LAM Best Implementation in Practice Award at Fantastic Futures 2026 for the Seeing Metadata: AI Glasses in Cataloguing for Enhancing Trust, Context, and Human Oversight in LAM Workflows project.
