New Library AI Tools" [Presentation slides]. 2025 Joint ACRL NEC /NELIG Annual Conference, Worcester, MA, United States.https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14394/56816Generative AI systems are exciting, transformational, disruptive, and emergent. In recent months, many library vendors including EBSCO, JSTOR, and ProQuest have released new AI tools as part of library subscriptions and services. Other vendors have hinted at or promised to release AI tools in the near future. It is easy to imagine how new tools will continue to be released, and with greater frequency mirroring the rapid advancements of generative AI systems. Library AI tools, especially ones trained using high-quality content within library databases, may provide better outputs than tools trained on open-web data and subject to garbage in, garbage out (GIGO) problems leading to AI hallucinations or mirages. Many library AI tools have been rolled out as service enhancements as part of regular subscriptions and without added costs. Libraries are lucky to be able to experiment with new tools in library subscriptions in place of experimenting with fee-based tools in open-web environments. This session will provide an insider’s view of the release of three or more library AI services deployed within subscription-based services at Worcester State University. The presenters will provide short demos of each service and will compare and contrast service offerings. They will provide their analysis of the current and future state of AI library tools. The session will conclude with Q&A and a call to colleagues to share what they know about the exciting future of AI library tools.en-USAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 United Stateshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/us/Artificial IntelligenceAILibrary AI ToolsNatural Language ProcessingNLPGenerative AIPresentation
