Over the past several weeks librarians from the Lemieux Library and McGoldrick Learning Commons have shared their professional thoughts about artificial intelligence and how these technologies are interacting with university libraries. This series covered implications and applications, from how AI is used in library resources and research apps, to AI hallucinations, to how you can ethically and responsibility use tools like ChatGPT.

This is not the end of conversations about AI, how it impacts our world, and how we engage with information. If you want to broaden your knowledge about AI and tools like ChatGPT, or learn about some of the other ways in which other digital tools affect how we find and engage with information, here is a beginning reading list to jump start your learning. All of these books are available at the Library! If you have any suggestions for this list, you are welcome to recommend books for the library to purchase.
