Event Overview
As artificial intelligence continues to reshape teaching, learning, and research in higher education, academic libraries are emerging as key leaders in helping campus communities navigate this rapidly evolving landscape. This session highlights how three academic libraries are expanding their roles as educators, connectors, and strategic partners in institutional AI adoption.

Participants will explore real-world initiatives, including AI tool evaluations, instructional resources, pilot programs, faculty and student support services, and campus-wide guidance for responsible AI use. The webinar will also showcase collaborative models involving libraries, IT organizations, research offices, and teaching and learning centers to support the sustainable and ethical integration of AI.

Join us to discover how academic libraries are positioning themselves at the forefront of AI innovation while fostering informed, inclusive, and academically responsible use of emerging technologies.
