Short Session Description (one line): Learn strategies for incorporating AI literacy into your existing lessons and conversations with users – without sidelining other important information.
Full Session Description (as long as you would like): Whether in a one-shot classroom visit, a research appointment, or a reference interaction, time is precious. Most librarians develop approaches to teaching common topics like searching, avoiding misinformation, and source evaluation that fit with these limitations. Generative Artificial Intelligence has complicated almost every information topic, but librarians still have the same amount of time to cover material with our users. Learn strategies for connecting essential AI-related knowledge to your existing materials, threading this new topic into the themes you are already addressing. Leave with practical next steps for educating your users in everyday work.
