An AI Community of Practice for Academic Librarians has been formed by academic librarians in the USA. There is a first online meeting on 28 August 2024 at 13.00-14.00 US Eastern time (which is 18.00-19.00 UK time, BST)
"The AI COP aims to create a vibrant, inclusive community where academic librarians can explore the opportunities and challenges of artificial intelligence together. Key aspects of our community: Open dialogue: All viewpoints on AI are respected and valued; Knowledge sharing: Learn from colleagues and identify collaboration opportunities; Resource development"
The AI COP Organizers are: Emma Slayton (Data Education Librarian, Carnegie Mellon University Libraries, USA); Rebecca Fordon (Reference Librarian & Adjunct Professor, The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law, USA); Michael Flierl (Fellow at the Information Literacy Institute at Purdue, USA).
