AI In Librarianship Trends, New LTI White Paper, and Choice Reviews of AI Products
Manage episode 435476780 series 2848568
In the second episode of this two-part series, Daniel Pfeiffer, the social sciences editor and LibTech Insights (LTI) editor at Choice, chats with TAF host Bill Mickey about general trends in AI librarianship, the forthcoming white paper from LTI, and Choice’s decision to begin reviewing AI products.
First, Daniel predicts that “AI” will be exploited as a buzzword to market new products, making it more difficult to identify legitimately useful AI tools. In the midst of this marketing frenzy, Daniel sees librarians searching for practical applications in their day-to-day functions and underscores the growing import of AI literacy. Next, our guest provides an overview of the upcoming LTI white paper that proposes a new framework for AI literacy based on interviews with librarians who instruct students and faculty on AI use. Last, Bill and Daniel preview the new Choice Reviews Rubric used to evaluate AI tools and reveal when Choice subscribers can begin to expect these reviews.
