AI Literacy at Lunchtime: Search Engines and Databases Online Workshop- Erin Burns Online
Online only- entirely web based live interaction, no face to face
Participants will learn which databases are developing generative AI Describe a RAG and how databases and other library search functions are incorporating this aspect of AI
Question the value and use of these generative AI models in the databases
Many of the databases that you may be using (Web of Science, JSTOR, Scopus) are developing generative AI features. This workshop will discuss how search engines work, what adding generative AI has done to searching, and the interesting ways in which RAGs (retrieval-augmented generation) is being applied in the databases. This will be a discussion-based workshop. We will have some slides and/or demo a few tools or guides, but we also want to hear from you, the participants, about these topics. Come with your lunch, your questions, and your experiences.
