CHATGPT AND AI:
TRANSFORM YOUR DAILY WORK AND YOUR LIBRARY'S SERVICES
A Practical and In-depth Masterclass for Library Staff with Crystal Trice
3.5 hours live online with non-expiring access to the recordings
Artificial intelligence is rapidly providing opportunities to transform the ways that we work, we learn, and we serve our communities. This in-depth masterclass is designed to help library staff understand and apply AI tools like ChatGPT in practical, realistic, and meaningful ways. Through hands-on learning and expert guidance, you'll discover how AI can enhance your daily work, streamline operations, and improve patron engagement—all without over-promising what AI can do and while navigating the ethical considerations that come with these emerging technologies.
SCHEDULE:
DATE: FRIDAY, JUNE 27, 2024, 12:00 - 3:30 PM US-EASTERN TIME
The masterclass can be (but does not have to be) attended as a 3.5-hour live event. A three-part full set of recordings, with the slide decks and chat logs, will immediately be released to registrants for unlimited post-event viewing and review at the pace that is best for you. You are most welcome to watch and participate as much or as little as you are able on the actual day. There will also be a forum discussion for participants on the recordings page so that you can ask questions or share ideas.
In the live event, there will be time for Q&A, and there will be short breaks between the parts.
CONTENT:
PART 1: UNDERSTANDING CHATGPT AND AI TOOLS
Discover the potential of ChatGPT, generative AI, and large-language models for enhancing library services. You'll learn how these tools work, explore their power and capabilities, and develop crucial skills in writing effective prompts to achieve your specific goals. By the end of this section, you'll have practical strategies for using AI to support your professional work and development, from improving communications to enriching research to streamlining project planning.
PART 2: ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS AND RESPONSIBLE USE OF AI IN LIBRARIES
As we explore AI's transformative potential, understanding how to use it responsibly becomes essential. This section provides practical frameworks for addressing key considerations, including privacy, bias, and information quality. You'll gain practical knowledge for handling copyright considerations, protecting patron privacy, and ensuring equitable AI access across your community. Learn specific approaches for implementing AI tools in ways that align with your library's values and mission while strengthening community trust.
PART 3: PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS FOR EVERYDAY WORK AND LIBRARY SERVICES
Discover concrete ways to enhance both your daily work and library services through AI tools. This section provides immediately applicable strategies for integrating AI into your existing workflows. You'll explore real-world applications and how to use AI as a personal assistant–from helping you get started with writing projects and replying to tricky emails, to getting immediate help with spreadsheet challenges and answers to technical questions, to brainstorming innovative programming ideas and enriching reference services. You'll leave with practical approaches for using AI to support your work, enhance your library's services, and help you and your team save time and work more creatively
