The library created an “AI Task Force” charged with planning a year-long series of AI-focused programs, workshops, and/or external communications. The primary goal of this task force is to center the library and library voices in campus conversations around artificial intelligence, especially as it relates to core library issues such as information literacy, research, and scholarly communications.

Currently, the library uses AI as a topic for discussion and learning (e.g. critical AI literacy) in instruction sessions conducted by professional librarians. The library does not plan to use AI in operations related to external communications and content promotion. The library also does not plan to acquire AI-generated books, articles, or media for its collections. Some library staff are exploring the use of AI tools in library operations in accordance with university guidelines and policies for data use.
