Core Webinar - Artificial Intelligence and Libraries: Leading the Technological Shift

CHICAGO—Join Core for the webinar "Artificial Intelligence and Libraries: Leading the Technological Shift" on March 19, 2025, at 1 p.m. CT. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer just a futuristic concept—it's now shaping how we work, learn, and interact with the world. Its influence in the library profession and the LIS field is increasingly evident, yet national surveys reveal a significant absence of AI initiatives and training in library programming, services, and pedagogy, limiting its potential impact on users. This workshop will explore AI's expanding role in libraries and the LIS field, stressing the urgent need for librarians and professionals to develop AI literacy and stay at the forefront of this technological shift. Additionally, this presentation will provide practical solutions to improve AI competence and improve library and LIS services.
