OCUL is delighted to announce the appointment of Kari Weaver, BA, MLIS, Ed.D., as AI and Machine Learning Program Manager. 

OCUL launched its AI and Machine Learning (AIML) Program in the summer of 2024, starting with five pilot projects. The program’s pilot projects were chosen from community-developed use cases and designed to create reusable tools and techniques that can transform and adapt for future use. As the projects get underway, OCUL members will be invited to participate in the exploration and evaluation of these new technologies.
