    Description: 

    The role of the Library constantly evolves and changes along with changing information needs. The growth and development of artificial intelligence tools have introduced unique and varied ways with which to interact with information, process information, collect information, and conduct research. These developments have also greatly changed the scope of Library instruction and information literacy needs.

    The Future of Information Literacy: AI and Library Instruction is intended as a space where Library professionals can discuss the impact of recent developments in AI and related technologies on their work, on their instruction, and on the needs of their users.
