SUMMARY:It is a Unicorn? Awareness of Misleading Books\, Bots\, & Sellers
DESCRIPTION:AI is the newest term for machine learning technologies which have had a profound impact on academic libraries. However\, this use of artificial intelligence in publishing has left a negative impact on information stewardship. Academic and specialized librarians will need to develop a stronger skill set in identifying AI-generated content if this tool is utilized by academic publishers.

SUMMARY:Search\, Scroll\, Cite: How Students Research in the Age of AI and Social Media

This will allow us to draw conclusions about undergraduate students’ self-reported research methodology. Based on these results\, we will present conclusions we’ve drawn that could lead to improved information literacy instruction practices for current generations.

SUMMARY:Academic "Freadom": Confronting Challenges to Intellectual Freedom in the Academic Library
DESCRIPTION:Recently\, attempts to ban books and restrict intellectual freedom have risen precipitously in the United States. While the intellectual freedom struggle in American librarianship has long been the domain of public and K-12 libraries\, recent skirmishes in the culture wars combined with tide of popular skepticism towards higher education have increased the risks for academic libraries. Join us to discuss the principles and the practices of intellectual freedom related to academic libraries.
