Hi y'all,
Following up on today's meeting, I mentioned that I'm on the lookout for
folks with interest in being on a panel talking about generative AI
adoption in their libraries at ALA 2024 in San Diego. Someone asked for the
blurb, so here it is:
*2022 and 2023 saw generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) make its way
into the public’s awareness in an unprecedented way when the companies
making text-to-image generation tools like Stable Diffusion and large
language models like ChatGPT made their tools available to the public. This
session will be a guided discussion between three panelists and a moderator
who will talk about how staff at libraries and their associated
institutions have approached GenAI, what the process looked like deciding
how to use it, and what impacts it has had on the library services they
provide.Due to the rapid pace of development and change in the field of
generative artificial intelligence, presenters will be chosen sooner to the
conference to ensure that the information given is both timely and
relevant. However, topics for discussion will touch on the the following:-
What guidance or policy governing GenAI use do their institutions have, and
what kinds of discussions have happened around the ethics of GenAI?- How
have GenAI tools impacted their day to day work, individually and
institutionally?- How are they approaching GenAI with communities they
serve? E.G. programming or workshops, technology offerings, or other
community-centered services.*
It'll get nailed down a bit more once I know who'll be on the panel, but
broadly the goal is to provide more of a "here's how it's going" discussion
rather than a more abstract discussion of AI in libraries. Speakers are
responsible for the cost of travel/lodging and attendance, but the
admission rate for presenters is USD$220.
If you're interested, drop me a line and a paragraph or two about what's
been going on at your library with AI! Sadly I can't bring everyone with
me, but I'll do my best to give fair consideration to everyone. Early
career (grad within 5 years), BIPOC, or 2SLGBTQIA+ librarians are
especially encouraged to reach out.
Thanks kindly,
Peter Musser (he/him)

Hello!
While working on some Intro-to-OERs type content, I thought it would be useful to have our Evaluating OERs information in an infographic/image form as well as ppt and doc. So I very quickly put one together based on the Doc. Can someone with access to our OER Commons group upload it there?
Thanks,
Amanda

Hi Lin,
Other people have been having issues with not getting the BCOEL Steering listserv… It’s weird that it’s being inconsistent for you though. CC’ing Debra in case she might know why?
No worries!

Hello!
For our October BCOEL Meeting, we moved it from the second Monday (9th) to the third Monday (16th) because of Thanksgiving. However, I notice that Monday the 16th is the OE Global Conference and several of us will be attending and therefore unavailable.
I see three options:
1. Move it to Monday Oct 23
2. Move it to Tuesday Oct 10 (same time, 1-2pm)
3. Cancel it and wait until our next meeting (Nov 20)
Please vote in this StrawPoll by the end of next week (Friday Sept 22) so that I can make a decision and update everyone in time.
Thanks,
Amanda
