    Teaching While Learning: An Approach to Incorporating Artificial Intelligence Literacy to Library Instruction
    (Connecticut Academic Libraries Conference, 2024-06-14) Pierdinock-Weed, Amber; Shaw, Benjamin
    As Artificial Intelligence (AI) became increasingly more prevalent in higher education, and showed clear implications in the ways we approach academic research, librarians needed to learn what impacts AI would have in their practice. The Teaching and Learning Services unit at the University of Maryland, College Park spearheaded how to incorporate discussions about AI literacy into library instruction by preparing lesson plans and talking points for research librarians and organized professional development workshops for librarians about AI. This session will discuss how Teaching and Learning Services librarians collaborated with our Academic Writing Program to regularly incorporate AI literacy into our First-Year library instruction curriculum and actionable strategies we used to prepare research librarians to discuss AI in their classroom. We will also discuss our plans for the future as AI continues to evolve.

    Generative Discussions on Generative AI: Preparing Librarians to Teach about Artificial Intelligence
    (2023-11-14) Pierdinock-Weed, Amber; Shaw, Benjamin; Yocco, Daria
    AI is the latest issue in higher education that librarians are finding themselves needing to address in the classroom. With the capabilities of AI changing daily, it has been difficult for librarians to keep abreast of the latest developments. Additionally, AI is an overwhelming concept for many librarians to grasp. The Teaching and Learning Services unit at the University of Maryland created instructional resources and a community of support for UMD librarians to teach and learn about AI. These included an LMS module, a structured workshop series, and a collaborative repository to share lesson plans.
