Hello,
My name is Annette Mims, and I serve as the Content Acquisitions Librarian
at Stony Brook University. Along with a few of my colleagues, I will be
presenting at the 2025 Charleston Conference this November. I would like to
post a message to the ACQNET listserv seeking participants for the research
component of our presentation.The text can be found below.
Thank you,
Annette Mims
Hi all,
We’re seeking survey respondents for a research study on the integration of
artificial intelligence (AI) in library tools and services. The purpose of
this research study is to understand how AI is currently being implemented
by library vendors—including its impact on product design, pricing models,
acquisition methods, and ethical considerations such as data privacy and
intellectual property—and whether these tools are opt-in or automatically
deployed. On the library side, the study explores organizational and
library-level policies on AI, available funding, evaluation and adoption
practices, and staff preparedness for AI training and implementation. We
welcome responses from all types of libraries (academic, public, special,
archives, etc.). By gathering perspectives from both vendors and libraries,
this research aims to identify points of alignment and tension between
vendor offerings and library priorities, ultimately informing more
effective and ethical adoption of AI in library settings.
The findings from the survey will be used in a conference presentation and
subsequent research article on AI Integration in Libraries.
We anticipate that the survey will take no more than 15 minutes with mostly
multiple choice questions. The survey will be open until Friday, October
31, 2025.
Please review the Informed Consent on the first page of the survey, which
provides details about our research project, your rights as a participant,
and options to complete the survey.
Thank you for considering! Please reach out to
kimberly.kennedy_at_stonybrook.edu with any questions or concerns.
