On 28 January 2026 at 11:00 am US Pacific (19.00 GMT)is a free webinar from LIli AI Applications for Improving Library Research and Student Support. The presenter is Stephanie Garrett  (Catholic International University, USA) 
"This presentation will explore how two powerful AI tools, Perplexity.ai and NotebookLM, can enhance the work of librarians, instructors, and students. We'll begin by examining Perplexity.ai, an AI trained on academic sources, and discuss effective prompting strategies that help research and reference librarians expand their access to high-quality, subject-specific materials from both open and academic web sources. Then, we'll turn to NotebookLM, a free tool for personal and academic use, focusing on how instructors can use it to increase student engagement with sources and leverage multiple modalities to improve learning outcomes.
