This CNI talk shares three university-AWS collabs where #GenAI: šŸØMaps data from 200+ years of medical records at @weillcornell.bsky.social šŸ“„Remediates PDFs for accessibility at the Ohio State University šŸ“‹Turns lecture recordings into interactive study materials at @udelaware.bsky.social #HigherEd

Findings from a CNI webinar on #GenAI strategies reveal that: 1ļøāƒ£ Institutions are using #AI in teaching, admin, & research 2ļøāƒ£ Much of #HigherEd's AI use was reactive, leading to security and governance issues 3ļøāƒ£ AI funding often comes from single-time investments, raising sustainability concerns

@stmassoc.bsky.social's Content-update Signaling and Alerting Protocol āš ļø aims to fill a crucial gap by keeping institutional repositories current with retractions and corrections. A pilot is being developed for automated alerts to prevent such outdated or inaccurate info in the #OpenAccess era.

From handling massive #DataSets to streamlining delivery, UC Berkeley #Library is ensuring that #ResearchData is well-managed, accessible, and compliant with licensing agreements through #Dataverse, so resources are discoverable and usable by the entire university community. #RDM #DataManagement

šŸ“ˆ Using a case study of Florida State University #Libraries, this CNI presentation explores the strategic role that #AcademicLibrarians can play in enhancing #UniversityRankings by leveraging their expertise in #ScholarlyPublishing, bibliometrics, and research infrastructure. #HigherEd

How do you balance indexing historical records with preserving human stories? šŸ“ The Virginia Untold project at the Library of Virginia wrestled with this, striving for both accessibility and deep contextualization. šŸ“¹ See their CNI talk for more. #Archives #DigitalHumanities @dennistclark.bsky.social

This CNI talk shares how the @bigtenacademic.bsky.social libraries šŸ“š have made progress in uniting their collections into a single collectionā€”jointly managed and fully integrated. The #BIGCollection contains print and digital resources, technologies, infrastructures, people, & expertise. #BTAA

#YaleUniversity has committed over $150M to advancing #AI. At CNI, a team from Yale explained the library's role in this initiative, reviewed the AI systems and governance to enhance #ResearchInfrastructure, and shared a new tool that allows researchers to analyze digitized materials using #LLMs.

This CNI panel explores the challenges and opportunities of integrating #AI technologies into library services, focusing on strategic approaches for implementing AI, campus-wide collaborations, AI and #DataLiteracy, ethical challenges, practical applications, and more. @anniekjohn.bsky.social

"...libraries should not give up on and they should instead embrace this possibility of offering advice, access, and action regardless of where this is taking place, but certainly within local #AI inference we can offer that a chance to turn ideas into action ..." -Peter Leonard at CNI
