Generative AI in Libraries (GAIL) Call for Proposals
Please excuse cross-postings.
You are invited to submit a proposal for the inaugural Generative AI in Libraries (GAIL) virtual conference. This year's theme is Prompt or Perish: Navigating Generative AI in Libraries. GAIL is a virtual conference aimed specifically at librarians. This conference seeks to explore the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in libraries. It is also an opportunity for librarians to share their experiences with generative AI technologies and their applications in the library setting.
Scheduled to take place June 11, 12, and 13, 2024, from 1:00-4:00 pm EDT each day, the GAIL virtual conference aims to promote a deeper understanding of how generative AI can revolutionize library services like instruction, research support, collection management, access services, outreach and collaboration, while also addressing the challenges and ethical considerations this new technology brings to libraries.
We welcome submissions from librarians, researchers, educators, and practitioners working in libraries or related fields. Submissions are now being accepted for 15- or 45-minute presentations, panel discussions, or demonstrations on topics related to generative AI and its applications in and implications for libraries. View more details on the conference website and submit a proposal here (proposal submission deadline: April 1; notification of acceptance: May 1). Registration details for attendees will be forthcoming.
