Webinar resources - Libraries and AI in Practice: How can we bridge AI’s technical, social and ethical dimensions?

Abstract

Resources of the event- Libraries and AI in Practice: How can we bridge AI’s technical, social and ethical dimensions? The first part of the session addressed 'IFLA's Entry Point to Libraries and Artificial Intelligence' document and summarized how we envision its utility for libraries. A case study is also included in the resources, referring to how the National University Library in Singapore has used the document and what they have identified as main learnings and challenges. During the second part, colleagues from the International Association of University Libraries (IATUL) Special Interest Group on Information Literacy (SIG IL) shared experiences on distributing the 'Supercharged by AI' exhibition materials within the UK and then to a global audience, and also launched an open educational resource for IATUL members to share and discover AI literacy tutorials. IFLA then expanded on key highlights from the 'Libraries at the Frontline of AI Literacy' report and how to use it for media/digital literacy advocacy activities in 2026.
