Another option is Ex Libris, a suite of integrated software solutions that includes tools like Alma, Rapido, and Primo. Ex Libris uses generative AI and linked open data to improve resource management, user experience and engagement. It also offers more in-depth analytics and connections to multiple information sources, improving workflows and providing personalized experiences based on library users.
Third Iron is also a strong contender with AI technology that provides direct and reliable access to full-text articles and content. It helps overcome problems with broken links and paywall restrictions by using metadata and journal holdings to generate direct links to articles. The platform is geared toward improving user satisfaction and streamlining research.
Although Perplexity is more of an AI-powered answer engine, it can provide fast and authoritative results with multiple AI models. It could be useful for library patrons seeking trusted and up-to-date information, but it's geared more toward general queries than library-specific needs.
