ACRL/PPIRS AI Literacy Discussion Group

 View Only
last person joined: 27 days ago 

To provide a forum for fellow PPIRS librarians to share their experiences and ideas about how AI technologies affect their professional work. This group discussion will focus on recent advances in free and subscription generative AI tools that are actively in use by students, faculty, and staff in higher education. As these tools and their underlying technologies are advancing quickly, it is helpful to have an ongoing conversation with our peers to compare best practices and discoveries.

Links from third-party sites like Consensus

    I received a promotional email from Eric from Consensus today. It was highlighting their product and criticizing library-vendor databases. So I did a few searches on Consensus. One thing I noticed is that some of the links to sources pointed to web pages that were outside my library's subscriptions. Say it goes to a journal article page on Liebert publishers, but we have access to the title on HeinOnline. For the library databases we usually have our link resolver set up to help our users connect to content but I didn't see any options for libraries to set this up with Consensus. One thing we've been rolling out is LibKey Nomad (see my libraries' FAQ), and that seems to help in some circumstances like these, to get a researcher to an article.  Just a logistical thing I wanted to share.

     

    Thanks

    Brett
