Fujitsu Japan has introduced the “Fujitsu AI Search Service.” This cloud-based tool uses artificial intelligence to improve how people search for books. This new service is different from traditional systems. Instead of needing exact keywords like titles or authors, users can use everyday language or vague phrases. For example, they might type “I want to be healthy” to find relevant books. The AI uses bibliographic classifications to understand what users want. It gives a ranked list of related titles. The results improve as users interact with the selections.
Aoyama Gakuin University and Kadokawa Town in Miyazaki Prefecture have adopted this service. It helps users find books more easily. This is great for those who struggle with regular searches. It also encourages exploration based on curiosity, which could increase library engagement. The solution fits well with current library systems, like Online Public Access Catalogs (OPACs).
