AI in Collections Working Group

Charge

This working group is tasked with creating an environmental scan of existing Artificial Intelligence (AI) research tools that are already being used within Virginia higher education or could support students researching using library licensed and owned resources. The focus will be on collection tools that require separate licensing.

The group’s charge covers subscription AI products that support academic research using library resources. The following fall outside the scope of the group’s charge: AI add-ons in existing subscription databases, subscription AI tools not focused on academic research using library resources, and freely available research-focused AI tools.
