Abstract

Wondering where generative artificial intelligence (AI) fits in information literacy instruction? This session will share findings from a recent survey of library professionals on how they are already teaching about and using AI powered ChatGPT in information literacy instruction and where they see potential opportunities and areas of concern. Survey analysis will include information about attitudes, current and anticipated use, and descriptions of teaching methods that leverage the technology. As we navigate the survey results, attendees will have the opportunity to share their own perspectives on the same questions via live polling. We will then turn to attendees to share their experiences and the challenges they have found in addressing the needs of their library communities as they explore applications of AI in their research, instruction, writing, and creative endeavors. As we explore the topic we will cover issues ranging from what generative AI is and is not, “hallucinated” information, deep fakes, misinformation, biased training data, documenting use of AI, privacy, copyright and costs.
