The mission of the Library Research Round Table (LRRT) is to contribute toward the extension and improvement of library research; to provide public program opportunities for describing and evaluating library research projects and for disseminating their findings; to inform and educate ALA members concerning research techniques and their usefulness in obtaining information with which to reach administrative decisions and solve problems; and expand the theoretical base of the field. LRRT also, serves as a forum for discussion and action on issues related to the literature and information needs for the field of library and information science.

    ALA's Library Research Round Table is pleased to announce the next webinar in the LRRT Research Webinar series. 

    Artificial Intelligence and Academic Integrity (AI & AI): The Research Process and Prognosis for Student and Faculty Perceptions of AI Ethics

    Feb 21, 2025, 1PM Central Time (US and Canada)

    As institutions of higher education settle into a new, generative AI reality, instructors and academic support professionals are confronting issues with student usage of AI tools for completing assigned learning activities, including discussion posts, essays, and even exams. These educators and administrators may feel overwhelmed in navigating the ambiguity of policy and classroom procedures, encountering flawed AI checking tools, and dishonest practices from some students. Enhancing our awareness of the rationale behind AI policies (or the lack thereof), student justifications for using AI in their work, and how we, as educators and information professionals, can study these topics further, is critical. The purpose of this presentation is twofold: First, to document various approaches used by the presenter and his collaborators to study student and faculty understandings and perceptions of academic integrity in the age of artificial intelligence, including a variety of research methodologies employed as well as avenues to disseminate findings of this research; second, to present the results of presenter's research on these topics and discuss how they may apply to the audience's own institutions. This presentation will be useful both for researchers interested in studying these and related topics, as well as practitioners interested in employing the findings of this research within their organization.
