About the Alma Mobile App

The Alma Mobile app provides access to Alma functionality from smart phones and tablets.  Using the app, you can scan in items on the shelf or use the pick form shelf list to retrieve requested items.

Support for AI Metadata Assistant.

The Alma Mobile App version 2 released Spring 2025 allows users with the Cataloger and AI Assisted Cataloging roles to use the app to create and enrich bibliographic records from mobile devices, using the device camera to send images of the resource to the AI. The AI generated metadata suggestions are pushed to the Metadata Editor for the cataloger to review when ready.
