Generative AI in the School Library Context

As stated by Laura Solomon, “librarians are actually situated to be…well…good at this. Maybe we don’t call ourselves “prompt engineers,” but creating the optimal search parameters are something we often excel at.” Jessica will be presenting about Generative AI in the school library context. She will offer examples on applications of AI for staff and students and how to address the elephant in the room: plagiarism. She will discuss about the elements of AI that can be applied in a school library – reader advisory, time-saving administration, students study support and much more.
