Hello Everyone,
What’s on your reading list this summer?
Sure seems like this summer has been hotter than usual, which has made it a great time to stay inside and catch up on some professional reading!
We’re surrounded by plenty of reading these days about Artificial Intelligence and possible futures for libraries and academia in general. The possibilities seem limitless! I’m especially interested in ways that AI might be able to improve the search and discovery experience in academic libraries. “Harnessing the power of AI in academic libraries," a blog post from Ex Libris, discusses different ways that AI might be used in libraries. The article describes one library’s experience using the new Primo AI Research Assistant, with these results: “library search adoption increased from 6.75% to 11.63% and user satisfaction increased to 83.7%.” Those results sound promising, so I’m interested to see how future development use of this tool will proceed.
