InfoLit MeetUp (Fall 2024) – How does AI impact research practices and discovery of sources?

AMICAL’s Information Literacy Interest Group invites you to another “InfoLit MeetUp” event (previously called “Virtual Tuesdays”).

InfoLit MeetUp events are informal conversations on information literacy topics important to AMICAL members. These conversations are participant driven: attendees will be able to add topics and/or questions to the agenda so that we can all share good practices and learn from each other’s expertise.

The integration of artificial intelligence into research processes is fundamentally transforming how information is accessed, evaluated, and utilized in libraries. As AI tools increasingly assist researchers in data analysis, literature reviews, and information retrieval, the role of information literacy becomes more critical than ever. Librarians are tasked with guiding users in navigating AI technologies, ensuring they understand not only how to use these tools effectively but also how to critically assess the information produced by them. Join us to discuss these challenges and how we benefit from these tools in our information literacy and research sessions.

Who should attend? AMICAL librarians, technologists and faculty members involved in information literacy.

Facilitators: Joyce Draiby (Lebanese American University) & Michael Stoepel (American University of Paris).

The event will be held on Zoom (see our online event guidelines) and recorded. If you register for the event, you will be emailed a link to the recording.
