Pre-Recorded Project Briefing Series

August 2024

We invite you to view the six videos in the August 2024 edition of our Pre-Recorded Project Briefing Series.

Two briefings provide examples of institutions thoughtfully adopting artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. 
  • Enhancing Library Services with Conversational Artificial Intelligence shares the development of an academic library assistant chatbot for the University of Texas at Austin Libraries. Though chatbots are a common AI entry point for institutions, aligning them with a library’s values and needs remains challenging. This briefing provides an in-depth look at the development process of a customized chatbot that offers high-quality research assistance while emphasizing ethics and privacy. 
  • The Ontario Council of University Libraries (OCUL) recently launched a two-year AI program, with projects covering government document metadata generation, e-book remediation for accessibility, chatbot integration for student support, and more. Learn more about the program in Ontario Universities' Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning Task Force Moves Ahead.
 
In Sustainable Digital Innovation: Key Factors from a Successful Higher Education Model, Wayne Morse reflects on his extensive experience fostering sustainable digital scholarship programs and innovative digital pedagogy at Emory University. He shares insights on building effective teams of scholars, technologists, and students while navigating financial constraints, changing institutional leadership, and evolving technology. 

Developing Career-Ready Students via a Data Fellowship Program at Florida State University Libraries describes a model where students develop practical, real-world data skills essential for professional success. The program uses a peer-to-peer support model, where "data fellows" provide other students with research support in data literacy, data science, data analysis, and open data. 

Climate Change Means Change: Long-term Planning for Long-term Digital Preservation posits climate change as a serious challenge to long-term digital preservation and advocates for libraries to rethink preservation practices and proactively adapt for an uncertain future.
 
Developing a High Touch Multi-Disciplinary Evidence Synthesis (ES) Service Prompted by Faculty Requests shares how the University of Southern California Libraries developed a sustainable ES service model for researchers conducting systematic reviews outside of medicine in disciplines such as the social sciences and engineering. Librarians who completed the integrated training program have since partnered with faculty as co-principal investigators and co-authors on Non-Medical Science Systematic Reviews (NMSSR) and participated in multi-institutional collaborations with organizations such as the Center for Disease Control and the Department of Defense. 

We thank the presenters for sharing their work with our community. Please contact them directly with questions or for further discussion.
