Virtual Conference | 10:30 am - 1:30 pm

AI is reshaping libraries in ways that raise hard questions and real opportunities, and library workers are responding with everything from skepticism to excitement to alarm. This three-hour mini-conference, being held on Thursday, April 9, 10:30 am - 1:30 pm US-Pacific Time, is designed to honor that complexity so attendees can form their own informed, values-grounded view.

The mini-conference will explore AI from the angles that matter to library workers:

  • Understanding risks and potential harms;
  • Practical applications in library and administrative work;
  • Research and information literacy;
  • Leadership decision-making;
  • Ethical considerations;
  • Supporting patrons who are navigating AI in their own lives.

Please join us for a conversation that will be as broad and honest as the topic deserves. Attendance is free and open to all.

 

This conference is a collaborative project of California Libraries Learn, the California Library Association, California State Library, and Library 2.0. It is supported in whole or in part by the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act, administered in California by the State Librarian.
