This report looks at how higher education faculty are using support
services offered by their academic libraries on the use of artificial
intelligence in teaching and research. The study provides specific data
points on use of academic library seminars/webinars in this area, dedicated
listservs, AI subject specialist librarians, specialized blogs, LibGuides,
web pages, and specialized machine learning sites, among other tools.
The report also gives data on faculty satisfaction with academic library
services in this area, and expectations for the future.
The study helps its readers to answer questions such as: how are academic
libraries supporting faculty interest in artificial intelligence? How are
academic libraries shaping their efforts in this area? What resources are
they putting into this emerging area?
Just a few of this 128-page report’s many findings are that:
· 8% of faculty say that a dedicated AI librarian is available to
them.
· 15.7% of tenured professors say that their libraries provide help
in developing particularly effective artificial intelligence prompts.
· Older faculty are the most supportive of library efforts to help
faculty use artificial intelligence; younger and mid-career faculty are
more critical.
· Engagement with library listserv posts about AI are highest among
fine arts and communications faculties.
Data is based on a survey of 660 higher education faculty broken out by
numerous personal and institutional variables enabling readers to pinpoint
differences in attitudes and policies towards AI by variables such as
gender, ethnicity, academic field, academic title, college type, college
size and many other characteristics.
