    Learning to Learn with AI: The NUS Libraries Way
    (International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2026-09-07) Ng, Tao Tao Magdeline Ng
    Learning to Learn with AI: The NUS Libraries Way NAVIGATING AI IN A MULTICULTURAL CONTEXT This poster builds upon our past work with IFLA https://repository.ifla.org/items/e16bd154-4a51-42eb-ab6e-e4d9fcdde4a7/full . We respond to global challenges of implementing AI with cultural awareness, interdisciplinary sensitivity cognitive responsibility. Working with a diverse student population, we recognize students bring varied levels of AI literacy, experiences, and expectations into academic work. These differences underscore the need for clear, accessible, and equitable guidance. We help students from diverse backgrounds access consistent expectations, practices, and resources aligned with institutional guidelines. PROTECTING COGNITION WHILE EMBRACING INNOVATION Our work addresses cognitive offloading. Research (Kosmyna et al.,2024; Lee et al., 2025) shows AI reliance can create "cognitive debt" and reduce critical thinking. Through our THE1004: Learning to Learn program, we've reached over 5,000 learners. 91% successfully identified core concepts and 92% rated the course good or excellent. IMPACT IN NUMBERS In 2024-2025, we embedded AI-integrated information literacy across 20+ programs spanning 10 disciplines. Our work has been cited in international publications (Xu & Loo, 2025; Wu et al, 2025). We've developed guides, workshops (Researcher Unbound series), and learning modules while preserving cultural heritage through platforms like Digital Gems.

    From Thesis to Trademark A Librarian's Guide to Accelerating Innovation
    (International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2026-09-07) Brenova, Martina
    Academic libraries are expanding their role beyond providing access to information. This poster presents the Business Services Department of the National Library of Technology (NTK) in Prague, which has developed a model of innovation support through the PATLIB network and the NCIP project. Challenges: limited awareness of intellectual property (IP) rights among students, early-stage innovators and SMEs, together with the risk of commercialising research without understanding the IP landscape. NTK addresses these by providing strategic consultations, IP scans, trademark and patent searches, and media monitoring using freely accessible databases. The poster demonstrates how a library can become a trusted innovation partner by combining research support with IP expertise to help transform research outputs into protected innovations while assistant economic resilience. Our experience shows that academic libraries can evolve from information providers into innovation partners. This model can be adopted by other libraries through collaboration with national intellectual property offices. By integrating traditional library services with IP expertise and user feedback, libraries can create long-term impact and support innovation ecosystems.

    Integrating Artificial Intelligence Literacy into Information Literacy: A Library-Based Approach to Generative AI in Higher Education at the Central University of Technology, Free State
    (International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2026-09-07) Vanda, Pelisa; King, Lizette
    Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) is increasingly shaping how students' access, evaluate, and produce information in higher education. Tools such as ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and many more are now widely used for academic tasks, creating an urgent need for institutions to strengthen Al literacy alongside traditional information literacy competencies. Academic libraries, as key drivers of information literacy development, are well positioned to respond to this shift through structured learning interventions. This poster illustrates how the Central University of Technology (CUT) Library integrated AI literacy into its existing Information Literacy (IL) module to support students in navigating an evolving digital information environment. The integration focused on developing students' ability to critically evaluate AI-generated information, understand ethical and responsible use of AI generated information in their academic work. Key areas addressed in the poster include academic integrity, misinformation, bias, copyright, data privacy, and citation practices when using AI assisted content. The poster further highlights how the CUT Library's initiative aligns with emerging trends in higher education and supports the development of future-ready graduates. In addition, the integration forms part of a broader PhD research topic investigating a framework for embedding AI literacy within academic library instruction. The project contributes to ongoing discussions on the role of libraries in promoting responsible and informed AI use in higher education.

    Localizing Global Goals: Mapping Out UP Libraries’ Outreach Initiatives into the SDGs
    (International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2026-09-07) Jinio, Martian A.; Manabat, April R.
    As the 2030 deadline for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) approaches, institutions are increasingly expected to demonstrate how their work contributes to sustainable development. Although universities are visible in this discussion, the outreach role of academic libraries remains less examined. This study analyzes how the outreach initiatives of the University of the Philippines (UP) Libraries translate the SDGs into concrete local action while fulfilling the University’s public service mandate. Using qualitative document analysis, the study reviewed outreach documentation from six UP academic units covering 2015-2025. It identified 26 library-led initiatives and mapped each activity to direct and indirect SDG alignments based on its objectives, activities, and target beneficiaries. The counts represent documented SDG alignments rather than measures of program impact. Findings show the strongest alignments with SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals), with additional contributions to SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) and SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities). Through learning support, resource provision, outreach, and partnerships, UP Libraries extend information services to underserved communities and localize the 2030 Agenda through grounded acts of education, equity, resilience, and collaboration.

    The Evolving Library: A Green, Health-Conscious Learning Hub
    (International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2026-09-07) Mwaurah, Naomy; Amake, Ciselyne
    The poster is about an existing library greening project that was motivated by the community it serves, a hospitality community. The project is designed to enhance the learning environment through the integration of indoor plants, edible herbs, and ornamental palms, while promoting sustainability, wellness, and experiential learning aligned with the hospitality sector. In addition to this, a correx board with the names and health benefits of all the herbs available in the premise is strategically mounted in the Resource Centre as part of information resources to educate the patrons. The objective of this project is to improve indoor air quality and comfort within the library, create a calming, green, and visually appealing learning environment, introduce edible and herbal plants relevant to hospitality and culinary education, promote sustainability and environmental awareness among students and staff, and enhance institutional branding through green design. The initiative aligns with the following United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): - SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being - SDG 4: Quality Education - SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities - SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production - SDG 13: Climate Action
