ACRL NY New Librarians Discussion Group: Becoming a Librarian in the Age of AI - Virtual Lunch Chat

As generative AI tools become increasingly omnipresent in every aspect of work, school, and daily life, librarians will need to grapple with whether and how to use and teach about AI tools in their work. Please join ACRL NY’s New Librarians Discussion Group for a candid discussion with other library students and new librarians on the role of AI tools in library school, the workplace, and in the job hunt.  

We’ll discuss our current experiences with AI tools, ethical considerations, and the newly released ALA AI Competencies for Academic Library Workers. Diverse perspectives are welcome, from AI skeptics to AI fans, and feel free (but not obliged!) to bring articles, videos, and other resources to share with other attendees. 

No matter where you are in your library career, all are welcome to join this timely conversation.
