<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings, CARLI Committee Leaders,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">After a <a href="https://www.carli.illinois.edu/public-services-committee-ai-event">
<span style="color:#467886">successful program</span></a> this summer on generative AI and academic libraries, the Public Services Committee is exploring the feasibility of a CARLI-wide AI symposium for some time around April or May of 2025 that would cover
a variety of concrete topics related to AI and libraries. We are contacting you to see if your committee would be interested in pursuing this idea more.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If so,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">1. What programs/topics would your committee be interested in?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2. What would be your preference for modality: in-person event or a Zoom webinar?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We think that this could have the potential to bring together CARLI Committees and library workers from diverse library positions. Examples of topics could be: using assistive AI for discovery of research sources, an overview of AI in commercial
products, AI tools for cataloging and other Technical Services processes, uses and/or information literacy of AI in library instruction, AI chatbots for Reference, and AI and patron privacy, racism, and ethics.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please let us know if you have any questions and <b>respond by September 27</b> so that we may plan accordingly.<i><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif"><o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
