Information Literacy Committee Roundtable Discussion

NILRC’s Information Literacy Committee is hosting a roundtable discussion

“Generative AI tools on MY Campus”

Thursday, March 7th, 10 to 11:30 am. **

Hosted by the NILRC Information Literacy Committee, this discussion will revolve around what we are doing on our campuses with Generative AI tools. This will be a group discussion, without a presentation so that we can hear from you. 

Some of the questions we may tackle during this discussion include:

  • What policies does your campus have on AI?

  • Do you communicate Generative AI to students? If so, how?

  • What are faculty most concerned about?

  • Are there any assignments we’ve created that constructively use AI?

  • Has it affected search engine results?

  • Do you use it in your workflow? 

Please plan to join us!  We want to hear from you!

**A Google Meet link will be sent to the NILRC listserv. Please contact NILRC Director Lois Bruno at director@nilrc.org to be added to the list of recipients.
