AI and public libraries: Panel and discussion

May 1 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm

The adoption and advancement of AI technologies has been swift, extensive, and…overwhelming. After assessing community interests and needs around AI in a recent poll (summarized here), WebJunction is bringing together a group of library leaders and technologists with AI expertise to discuss some of the main themes identified in the poll results, and their professional perspectives on the questions and opportunities that AI presents. Attendees will come away with a deeper understanding of AI and its applications in public libraries, and strategies for addressing AI with the public.

Presented by:

  • Jon Braun, Online Learning & Digital Content Specialist, LibraryLinkNJ
  • Philip Carter, MLIS, Director, Starkville-Oktibbeha County Public Library System (MS)
  • Dianne Connery, Development Director, Pottsboro Library (TX)
  • Jim Craner, Library Technologist, The Galecia Group

This program is presented by Webjunction.
