Practical Considerations for Adopting Generative AI Tools in Academic Libraries https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/01930826.2025.2506151 #AI #libraries

Text Shot: Drawing on case studies from Clemson University, Wake Forest University, and Goldey-Beacom College, the column examines key areas of GenAI integration: contract negotiations, licensing models, trial and pilot program design, data privacy, accessibility, authentication, analytics, training, and ethical use. The article emphasizes the importance of aligning AI adoption with institutional missions, user agency, and evolving frameworks of AI literacy. Recommendations are provided for libraries of all sizes to navigate the dynamic GenAI landscape responsibly and equitably, ensuring that academic integrity and student-centered values remain at the core of AI integration.

Just had a random thought about building a decentralised online library using the #Murmurations protocol.

Many authors make e-versions of their books available for reading or download on their website, like David Holmgren's RetroSuburbia;

https://retrosuburbia.com/

What if they could put a simple JSON file on that website, containing info about the book and where to find it, using a standard format. Then anyone could build a catalogue website to make them more discoverable.

Is anyone building a database or otherwise collecting data on the canceled IMLS grants?

ACH has a database with the cancelled NEH grants - https://impact.ach.org/ - and having a similar database for IMLS grants could provide folks with more information about impacted positions, services, and community populations, bonus if hard numbers for all three can be collected!
