Artificial Intelligence in Libraries: An Update from Listen with LOUIS
Thursday October 10, 2024 8:30am - 9:15am CDT
Upper Reception Room
On March 15, the Listen with LOUIS podcast focused on the topic of AI in libraries. Holly Goodwin, Dr. Megan Lowe, Phillip Martin, and Rob Stephens discussed AI in libraries, particularly about what the panelists were noticing at their libraries, what they found useful, and how libraries should be talking to their campus communities about AI. AI continues to evolve, and libraries and institutions of higher learning respond to those evolutions. This panel will provide updates to that discussion.

Better Together: How Academic Librarians Can Advocate for Our Profession
Thursday October 10, 2024 10:30am - 11:15am CDT
Room 322
Book challenges and library-related legislation are national and state trends, primarily targeting school and public librarians. However, these trends broadly impact librarianship as legislators and activists take steps to devalue the degree and lower professional standards. What can we, as academic librarians, do to support our profession? This presentation will include information from the American Library Association's Office for Intellectual Freedom training "Law for Librarians."
