AI for libraries: Advancing research and discovery

Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the discovery, access, and use of scholarly resources in libraries. In fact, Clarivate’s 2024 survey of academic libraries found that 69% are in the planning or implementation stages of AI deployment, with a primary focus on supporting and accelerating research. How will AI tools support libraries in transforming research at their institutions? How can librarians ensure they deliver on their promise while maintaining responsible AI practices?
Join us for a webinar that explores the opportunities, challenges, and concerns related to the latest tech revolution and the strategies libraries can use to confidently evaluate and adopt AI tools, positioning them at the forefront of a revolution in research.
Juan P. Denzer, Engineering & Computer Science Librarian from Syracuse University Libraries, will share his experiences in evaluating and employing AI solutions, providing practical insights and recommendations. Attendees will also hear from Francesca Buckland, VP Product Management at Clarivate, who will discuss principles, best practices and guardrails guiding the development of Clarivate’s new AI tools.
Attendees will be introduced to a new AI tool developed with and for researchers: the Web of Science Research Assistant. Philip Reimann, Director of Product Management, will demonstrate the Web of Science Research Assistant and its transformative potential for research use cases. Juan will also share his experiences as a beta tester of this tool.
Don’t miss this opportunity to explore how libraries can confidently harness AI to meet the evolving demands of students and researchers, keeping their libraries at the forefront of innovation.
