Short Session Description (one line): Teaching AI Literacy Through Digital Tutorials and Workshop Instruction
Full Session Description:
Librarians have a professional responsibility to teach varied literacies, which include digital navigation, information-seeking skills, and now AI literacy. Instruction must address the utilization of artificial intelligence, which can facilitate brainstorming, outlining, creating, iterating, and proofing written and illustrated products in the workplace and classroom. AI will raise expectations for deliverables, since it produces serviceable outputs that may be personalized by human beings to suit organizational or individual needs. Informed librarians can help students and community users understand how to utilize AI, while also respecting limitations set by ethical standards.
In this session, methods for structuring AI literacy instruction will be described. Learning outcomes and examples for AI-use within assignments and personal projects will be shared. Attendees will view new tutorial modules aligned with AI literacy, as one method for digital instruction, and also learn about content modifications for an in-person workshop model. Although this presentation comes from an academic library perspective, the ideas can be adapted to various library settings.
