As the initial hype of Generative AI settles, libraries face a critical challenge: How do we move beyond first steps to provide meaningful, sustainable instruction?
Join Dayna Durbin, Undergraduate Teaching Librarian at UNC Chapel Hill, as she shares the evolution of AI literacy on a large university campus and lessons learned - starting from initial grant-funded efforts to the development of a robust AI workshop series for students, staff, and faculty.
We will explore the realities of teaching a "moving target," focusing on how to facilitate thoughtful AI conversations that stick. Whether you are struggling with faculty buy-in or student apathy, you’ll learn why treating AI as an ongoing dialogue - rather than a technical checklist - is key to long-term success.
Presenter: Dayna Durbin, Undergraduate Teaching Librarian at UNC-Chapel Hill
Learning Objectives:
- Identify the specific "niche" that libraries can fill in the AI landscape by bridging the gap between technical tool-use and information literacy.
- Build a flexible instructional framework that addresses the core logic of AI, ensuring lessons remain relevant, even as specific tools and platforms change.
- Lead nuanced campus conversations that move students beyond "how-to" prompting and toward evaluating the ethical, social, and academic implications of Generative AI.
