AI and Library Instruction

My colleague Amy James and I have been thinking and writing a lot about generative artificial intelligence and library instruction, specifically these questions:

  • How should we be teaching students about generative AI?
  • What specifically should we be teaching and in what contexts?
  • How should AI tools (like ChatGPT) be used in library instruction?
  • Where can we find generative AI within the Framework for Information Literacy (which of course doesn’t reference it specifically)?
Publications:

“Where does ChatGPT fit into the Framework for Information Literacy? The possibilities and problems of AI in library instruction” College & Research Libraries News, October, 2023.
