About this Group

👐 Anyone can view all content in the group, but only people who join it can post to it. Anyone can join to participate.


Purpose: Provides a forum for researching potential applications of Machine and Deep Learning in library science, including discussions, publications, and outreach to the wider Library community. Its goal is to educate librarians on uses of the complex techniques of machine learning and to provide a space for critically thinking both about new applications, and about the ethical and social impact of these technologies , as the field rapidly expands in the coming decade.

Seeking a Co-Chair for this Group

  • 1.  Seeking a Co-Chair for this Group

    Posted Sep 08, 2021 01:10 PM
    We're looking for a Core member to co-chair this interest group through June 30, 2022. There's a good description about how our Interest Groups work on our website, but the primary responsibilities are facilitating discussion (posting a question, linking to an article, or otherwise jumpstarting conversation) a few times a year and filling out an online form twice a year describing any activities that happened in the past 6 months.

    Beyond that, chairs can hold online, synchronous discussions in Zoom, submit conference or online education program proposals, run an e-forum discussion via email, or coordinate group members who want to build resources for the profession (toolkits, resource guides, checklists, best practices, etc.). All these additional opportunities are optional, though.

    Please email me at jlevine@ala.org if you're a Core member who is interested in this opportunity.

    Thanks,
    Jenny
