The Forgotten Jewel of a Good Book: A Compass to Modern Discoveries such as the Internet, Search Engines, and Generative AI

Many have argued about the place of technology, computer systems and their paraphernalia such as e-books, audiobooks, and websites, whether they are a blessing or a curse. Nevertheless, the products of past civilisations, such as the discovery of paper and the invention of the movable printing press, books, and writing itself, remain the true success stories behind all modern emerging technologies.

The Data Divide: How Premium Financial Databases Stratify Business Education

Two students complete the same business degree, take similar courses, and earn comparable grades. One graduates with a Bloomberg certification and fluency in an industry-standard financial database. The other has never logged into a professional data platform.  One has the opportunity to compete in a case competition using financial market information to build professional information literacy, while the other is excluded based on lack of database access.  The difference comes down to the funding capacity and priorities of the institution they attended.

How Will You Respond to the Unacceptable Costs of GenAI?

We must remember that those who profit the most from our growing reliance of GenAI are the tech companies themselves. Meanwhile, the people who are the most excited about AI are the ones who understand it the least. While machine learning can be useful, I argue that GenAI comes at an unacceptable cost. Taking in to consideration GenAI’s role in the spread of disinformation, the complex damages caused to people and the planet along with the proven negative effect to cognitive skills among users, this text advocates for critical perspectives, and ideally, critical refusal of GenAI.

AI Literacy Is Information Literacy: One Academic Library’s Plan for AI Instruction

Artificial intelligence, specifically Generative AI, is a topic that cannot be ignored in education, regardless of the level. As a library director at a four-year private university, I believe it is our duty as librarians to meet the challenge of AI head-on and meet the instructional needs AI creates. Using generative AI is a skill that both students and faculty should be trained in, including the proper uses of AI and how it can be used as a tool, while also being clear how to use it in a positive way. Libraries are uniquely positioned to do oversee this effort on college campuses, because AI literacy is information literacy, and librarians should lead.

The Complexity of Ethic Centered AI Literacy in Higher Education

One of the main challenges which academic librarians face when trying to develop programs and services that support AI literacy is the wide array of stances taken by institutions, and individual faculty members, when it comes to teaching with and about AI tools. These dimensions are not only applicable to students, but also to faculty, who also need help and guidance navigating the new technologies. One aspect which becomes central to this conversation is promoting the ethical use of AI tools in the academic environment. Although the topic has gathered considerable attention in recent conversations, these remain fragmented and divisive.
