AI for Librarians

What role can libraries play as AI changes how people find and evaluate information? I bring together research reviews, professional frameworks, and resources on AI literacy, information seeking, and responsible library practice.

Explore ways to connect established information-literacy teaching with AI competencies, while keeping professional judgement, access, and the needs of library users at the centre.

Professional judgement

When is choosing not to use AI the informed decision?

Consider ethics, performance, and library values when evaluating a tool. Competence includes deciding whether an application is appropriate.
