May 6, 2019 - Redwood City, CA - Yewno, Inc., a leading provider of Artificial Intelligence solutions, today announces that the San Mateo Public Library has adopted its Yewno Discover platform for patron use in its libraries and through its website. Yewno Discover is an intuitive, cutting-edge research tool, powered by Artificial Intelligence. Its highly visual interface encourages lifelong learners of all ages to immerse themselves in research, both formal and casual.
The San Mateo Public Library's mission is to help their community to discover, enjoy, connect and learn in an ever-changing world. San Mateo is among the first library systems in California to adopt Yewno Discover, which is part of their ongoing commitment to serve as a gateway to information through technology. "The beauty of public libraries is that we provide resources to individuals that they otherwise might not have access to on their own. Historically this meant massive collections of books, but increasingly it also includes the latest technological and e-Learning resources," says James Moore, Acting City Librarian. "We are excited to partner with Yewno to offer this new research tool to our community."
Patrons can use Yewno Discover to query a topic of interest to them, and then explore millions of possible connections between related concepts. Once the user has identified related concepts of interest, Yewno Discover will surface relevant content from its vast collection of scholarly articles, books, and databases, as well as San Mateo's digital collection. It is an easy-to-use tool that makes research navigable and fun while ensuring comprehensive and credible coverage.
"Yewno Discover differs from traditional search methods in two main ways. First, it allows the user to make connections between ideas that are meaningful to them, rather than relying on "keyword" results. Secondly, it ingests and reads each book, article, and data source, storing all of the information in a way that mimics the human mind," says Ruth Pickering, Co-Founder and Chief BD & Strategy Officer, Yewno, Inc. "The result is that users make connections and uncover resources they might not in other search environments, and they do it at lightning speed because the platform has already "read" and identified exactly what is in each source."
