Primary Research Group announces the release of its latest report, *Survey
of Library Science Faculty: Use of AI in Education*. This comprehensive
study offers an in-depth look at how library science educators are
integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into their curricula, their
attitudes toward AI, and the evolving landscape of academic integrity and
policy in the age of AI.
The report is now available as a PDF for $95, with a print edition shipping
November 4 (pre-orders accepted). List licenses are also available. To view

What’s Inside the Report
The survey draws on responses from faculty across a range of institution
types, academic ranks, and demographic backgrounds. Readers will find:
- *Detailed data tables and subgroup analyses*
- *Open-ended faculty perspectives on AI policy*
- *Trends in AI detection and academic integrity*
- *Faculty attitudes toward curriculum changes*
- *Breakdowns by institution, rank, age, gender, and more*
Five Key Findings
1. *AI Conversancy Is Widely Valued:*
Two-thirds of faculty rate it “very” or “extremely” important for students
to be conversant in AI applications, with the strongest consensus at
BA-level institutions and private colleges1 <L4>.
2. *Policy Clarity Is Lacking:*
While AI is seen as important, only one-third of faculty say rules for
student use of AI are “very” or “extremely” clear. The most common response
is “somewhat clear,” with notable ambiguity at BA-level institutions1 <L44>.
3. *Conditional Permission Is the Norm:*
Most faculty allow AI for support tasks (idea generation, structure,
grammar) but require disclosure/citation and prohibit full content
generation. Policies vary by course, with some outright bans and a minority
fully encouraging AI use1 <L83>.
4. *Academic Integrity Concerns:*
Faculty estimate that a median of 10% of students use AI to cheat, but the
average is higher (24%), with some subgroups reporting rates up to 100%.
Perceived cheating is highest among adjuncts, males, and mid-enrollment
schools1 <L87>.
5. *Detection Tools Are Common:*
Nearly half of faculty have used AI or detection applications to assess
student work, with higher usage among those at MA/Doctoral institutions,
private colleges, and those with heavier teaching loads.
