    The University of Central Florida Libraries' is pleased to announce the third annual Teaching & Learning with AI conference, which features a Library Track, to be held May 28-30, 2025, 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 two 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  

    • 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 is 11:59 p.m. on Friday, January 17, 2025. Acceptance decisions will be sent in mid-February. 

    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.
