ACRL Artificial Intelligence (AI) Interest Group

Greetings, AI DG folks!  Ginny and I are working hard to plan our May discussion group meetup, and we need your input!  We'd like to focus this month's session on two topics: first, a news roundup, in which we'll ask you to share any articles, podcasts, or other sources of interest with the group.  What has caught your attention lately in the AI space?

And second, we'd love to coordinate the group in doing a shared reading together, then taking time in our meeting at the end of the month to discuss together.  Ginny had the fabulous idea to choose from among the AI-focused papers shared in April's ACRL 2025 Conference Proceedings. To that end, we invite you to vote in the comments below for the paper you'd most like to discuss at our May meetup - - to keep things simple, you can just copy/paste the article or articles you're most interested in, and then Ginny and I will tally them up and choose the highest-ranked article to be our discussion topic at the May meetup:

• An AI Community of Practice: Results and Insights, Michael Flierl and Emma Slayton

• Adapting to AI: Developing Instruments to Study Changes in Information Seeking Behavior, Samuel R. Putnam, Matthew Frenkel, Hebah Emara, Amanda He, Lindsay Anderberg, and Fiona Hibbard

• Assessing the Impact of Research Consultation on Patron's Psychological Well-Being in GenAI Context, Yali Feng and Lindsay Bahureksa

• Library-Led AI: Building a Library Chatbot as Service and Strategy, Sharesly Rodriguez, Nick Szydlowski and Jessie Cai

• Partners in Kind: Collaborating with AI to Complete a Compassion Audit at the University Library, Janice Grover and Jessica Rardin

• Reframing Information-Seeking in the Age of Generative AI: A Critical and Humanistic Approach, Joseph Kevin Sebastian

• Squinting Through the Dawn of AI: Embedding Algorithmic Literacy Principles in Library Instruction, Lauren A. Camarillo

Please post your vote in the comments below by this Friday, May 16th!  Ginny and I will announce the winner next Monday, and then we'll aim for a meetup in the final week of May.  Looking forward to seeing you all soon!
