Event Details
Half-day Course + Three Week Workshop
Learn new developments and practical ways to help library users engage with AI tools.
This online course will focus on tangible ways to apply AI to your daily work. This course will primarily focus on using AI with and for your community. We will discuss further advancements in generative AI as well as possible ways to integrate AI into your library services. You’ll also learn how to teach AI to patrons and students, and you’ll leave with ideas for developing AI content for your library users. All live speaker presentations will be recorded and available on demand for six months.
This course includes one half-day (four hours) of live, online presentations from an expert speaker, as well as three weeks of a guided asynchronous workshop with facilitated peer cohorts and assignments. In this workshop, you’ll have the opportunity to practice what you’ve learned through prompted activities, share and crowdsource issues with peers, and get feedback from peers and your facilitator.
Who should take this course?
This course is for people with at least foundational knowledge about AI; it is open to all levels and types of library staff, but it will be most relevant to librarians who are involved with programs, services, or instruction.
