This report, based on a survey of 54 academic library directors and similar officials, looks closely at how academic libraries are teaching patrons about ChatGPT, Bard & other artificial intelligence applications, and at how they are integrating the use of such programs into their own teaching. The study gives specific data on the development of tutorials, LibGuides, and dedicated classes for educating library patrons on the use of ChatGPT, Bard, AI-enabled Bing and other applications. The study helps its readers to answer questions such as: what percentage and what type of college libraries have developed or are considering the development of courses in use of artificial intelligence programs? What percentage have developed LibGuides? How high is the demand from library patrons for information about these programs? How have the programs themselves used ChatGPT for their own work purposes and productivity enhancement?
Just a few of this 60-page report’s many findings are:
- Private colleges are more active than public ones in integrating ChatGPT and other similar applications into their information literacy efforts.
- More than 63% of respondents believe that ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence programs will have a significant or dramatic impact on information literacy training.
- 26% of respondents from public colleges in the sample have already developed a LibGuide on the use of ChatGPT.
- Female respondents were much likelier than males to feel that demand for information about ChatGPT and similar programs was low, very low or extremely low.
