AI and Libraries II: More Applications, Implications, and Possibilities

Register for this conference!

Our second Library 2.0 mini-conference on AI: "AI and Libraries II: More Applications, Implications, and Possibilities," will be held online (and for free) on Thursday, April 18th, 2024, from 12:00 - 2:30 pm US-Pacific Time. This is a continuation of the March 21st "AI and Libraries" event.

How has artificial intelligence impacted library services, resources, and work so far? How have libraries responded to these evolving technologies to better support their communities? It's been over a year since generative artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT and Dall-E have been introduced in public spaces and consciousness, but AI has been around long before these tools yet there are still lingering concerns, challenges, and considerations. Join us for this free virtual conference to learn how libraries and library workers are engaging with artificial intelligence tools in their libraries from research support to information literacy to technical services. The conversations held in the conference will address the practical implications of these tools in the profession.

Our special conference chair is again Dr. Raymond Pun, the Academic and Research Librarian at Alder Graduate School of Education, and the Immediate Past President of the Chinese American Librarians Association (CALA) and a Past President of the Asian/Pacific American Librarians Association (APALA). Dr. Pun will be joined by Helen Wong Smith and Thomas Padilla to talk about "AI and Archives" for the opening keynote, and Reed Hepler will give the closing keynote on "The Three Cs of AI-Generated Content: Copyright, Citation, and Circumspection." See below for more details!

We look forward to gathering online with you for this event!
