ACRL/PPIRS AI Literacy Discussion Group

 View Only
last person joined: 21 hours 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.

    Happy new year!  
     
    Please join us for the next PPIRS AI Literacy Discussion Group (PALDG) on Zoom this Friday January 9th from 2-3pm Eastern. The discussion this month will be a repeat of a topic we covered last year: AI and Literature Reviews.  Needless to say, this is an evolving subject and as part of this discussion, we can consider the impact of tools like Consensus which appear to be getting better.  What are the pros and cons of using these tools on the literature review process and the research our communities are doing in general?
     
    You can review and share relevant resources and ideas on this month's discussion topic beforehand on the working document and/or just share ideas during the discussion. Summary notes of what has been covered in past discussions are posted in the discussion group's Connect site. 
     
    We hope you will join us next Friday for another lively discussion with co-coordinators, Ann Cullen and Kim MacVaugh, and fellow PPIRS members!
