Program Description

Event Details


Three-session Cohort | February 24, 26, & 27 | 10:00 am - 11:00 am

Designed as both an introduction and a “catch-up” course, this cohort builds a shared baseline of AI literacy across staff roles. Participants learn how modern AI systems generate outputs, what they can and cannot do, and how to communicate non-sentience and limitations without jargon. 

The cohort emphasizes practical safety: protecting patron privacy, validating information, and setting appropriate expectations.

What to expect:

  • Tuesday, 2/24: Intro + Q&A (60 min): Recorded for later viewing
  • Thursday, 2/26: Optional Office Hour / Open Lab (60+ min): Not recorded (to encourage open dialogue)
  • Friday, 2/27: Follow-up Discussion + Reflections (60 min): Not recorded (to encourage open dialogue)
