AI in Libraries: Get the Scoop, Beat the Fear, Make it Work for You (and Your Patrons)
A practical conversation on AI in libraries, what is changing, what to consider, and how to move forward with confidence.
Artificial intelligence is becoming part of everyday library operations, raising new questions about its role in services, workflows, and community engagement.
To help make sense of it, Bibliotheca’s Solution Consulting team hosted a clear, practical discussion on what AI means for libraries today. The session covered the basics of machine learning, explored where AI is already in use, and looked at how libraries can work with these tools in meaningful ways as the technology continues to evolve.
AI works best alongside staff, not in place of them. Attendees left with practical ideas for using AI in library operations, along with guidance on how to help patrons understand and use these tools with confidence.
