Explore the intersection of AI and library instruction with the Science & Technology Section’s Information Literacy Committee. Join us on Wednesday, March 27, at 2:00 PM CDT, for an online event featuring six STEM Librarians who will share their practical applications of AI in the library classroom.
Speakers:
- Helene Gold, University of Kentucky, STEM Librarian
Helene will share how she is creating embedded, flipped lessons for first-year Human Ecology students to use ChatGPT to generate research topic ideas and questions, compare chatGPT output with subscription tertiary sources, generate and verify article citations using chatGPT and Primo, and reflect on when ChatGPT may/may not be a useful tool in their academic work. - Jodi Coalter, Michigan State University, Life Sciences Librarian
Jodi will share how she is incorporating ChatGPT to teach search strategy development that encourages students to use LLMs constructively, while also providing a platform to discuss with students the ethical use of AI in the classroom. - Clarissa Ihssen, American University, Science Librarian
Clarissa will share her approach to teaching students about ChatGPT with one image (a decision tree graphic) to quickly teach the benefits, issues, and potential consequences of using ChatGPT. - Helen Bischoff, University of Kentucky, Coordinator of Liaison Services (STEM Team)
Helen will share how she has been using AI both as a tool for instructional design and as an in-class tool that transforms the first-year student research experience and sparks class discussions on accuracy and efficacy of AI. - Dory Shaffer, Michigan Technological University, Research, Education and Outreach Librarian
Dory will share how she collaborates with instructors to design assignments that introduce students to AI’s powers and problems before applying what they’ve learned in course-integrated sessions. - Kelly (Grossman) Getz, Eastern Michigan University, Associate Professor, STEM Librarian
Kelly will share how she’s using the generative AI tool, Perplexity, to teach biochemistry students the good, the bad, and ugly of AI, and how they can use generative AI for research inspiration.
