Course Overview
Despite the opposition some might have to AI, it likely isn’t going anywhere. As such, academics need to engage in ongoing conversations about if and how to engage with AI. Library Journal invites presentations about the intersections of AI and academic libraries in our Fall 2025 online conference. We welcome submissions on any topic pertaining to AI and academic libraries, including topics such as:
- Pedagogical approaches and AI in classrooms
- Impacts of AI on library services or operations
- Potential uses of AI in academic libraries
- Pitfalls and risks of AI in academic libraries and how to combat them
- Ethics of AI in teaching and research
- AI and metadata
- AI and archives
- AI and DEI and accessibility
All presentations will take place via Zoom on Monday, November 17 and Tuesday, November 18 and will be recorded for accessibility. Recordings will be available to conference participants, but they will not be downloadable or available publicly.
We welcome individual presentations and fully formed panels.
For individual presentations: Please submit a title, an abstract of no more than 200 words, a brief, 100-word bio, and five pertinent keywords to classify your presentation. Individual presentations will be capped at 20 minutes.
For fully-formed panels: Panels should include 3-4 people and be kept to one hour. Please submit titles and abstracts of no more than 200 words for every presentation in your panel. Please also include a brief, 100-word bio for each participant as well as a panel topic summary or overview of no more than 100 words explaining how the presentations fit together in conversation.
Submission Deadline: May 12, 2025
