Core Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Libraries Interest Group

Hi all, this just came across my inbox so I thought I'd share it with folks here in case it's of interest.

The University of Central Florida is pleased to announce the addition of a Library Track to the second annual Teaching & Learning with AI (TLWAI) conference, to be held July 22-24, 2024, in Orlando, Florida. The call for proposals is now open and we invite academic librarians and library workers to submit a proposal to the Library Track. 

Call for Proposals 

 Participants from academic libraries are encouraged to submit proposals. Individual and team proposals are equally welcome. The conference is in-person only and the Library Track has three formats: 
 

• 25-minute interactive presentations for sharing examples of library implementations or practices related to AI in academic libraries, or that challenge participants to discuss deeper, not-easily-answered questions about AI in libraries  

• 50-minute in-depth workshops, panels, or explorations on more complicated projects, assessments, concepts  

• Poster sessions can be on any topic related to AI in Libraries and may be digital or print 
   

Example topics for the Library Track  
 

• AI-assisted content and metadata creation  

• Ethical considerations related to AI and its use in libraries  

• Library and institutional policies around the use of AI  

• Professional development and support in learning AI in libraries  

• AI literacy and critical thinking with AI  

• Prompt engineering in libraries  

• Intellectual property issues related to incorporating licensed content into AI and text and data mining projects 

• Incorporating AI into library applications and processes  

• Using AI with open access and open educational resources  

• AI and digital scholarship, research support, and instruction services  

Note: Because this is primarily a sharing conference, priority will be given to proposals that have clear ideas for takeaways that participants can use in their own libraries.  
 
The deadline to submit a proposal to the Library Track is 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, March 17, 2024. Acceptance decisions will be sent by April 12, 2024. 

Further details, including registration costs, hotels, and opportunities to sponsor can be found at https://digitallearning.ucf.edu/teachwithai/. Questions may be sent to teachwithai@ucf.edu.
