Finding the exciting stories in the holdings or supporting users with their research often takes a back seat. It is also frustrating that the amount of data is growing much faster than your entire team could ever index. ### The challenges - Our holdings are already far too large to ever be fully indexed. - Our collections are difficult to use, especially for the general public. - Although we invest a great deal of time and resources, we can typically only catalogue certain items in detail. - Our user support and researcher services take a long time even for simple inquiries. ### Wishes - Our collections are easy to use and well indexed - We use our time for curatorial work, for discovering treasures and telling their stories. - Our content is accessible and searchable in a variety of ways - Our users find exciting content easily and independently and therefore use our collections better and more often - We use our experience and expertise for complex research and other important tasks ![metadaten-edit-1](https://www.archipanion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/screenshots/metadaten-edit-1.webp?width=1024&height=1024&name=metadaten-edit-1.webp) ### Gain metadata Automatically generate metadata from index cards, registers, finding aids or directly from the documents.
