Description:

In recent years generative artificial intelligence (GAI) tools have increased in availability and popularity at universities, but not everyone knows how to use them for better library search results. In this 60-minute hybrid session we will demonstrate how to use Microsoft Copilot, a free GAI tool for all NU students and faculty, to improve searches with the gold standard of reliable content, library databases. This session is geared toward participants with little-to-no familiarity with generative artificial intelligence, and will also address the basics of what generative artificial intelligence is, how it works, its risks, and limitations. Students can learn about NU’s Copilot accounts here.

This workshop is presented by Tracy Coyne, Distance Learning and Professional Studies Librarian; Frank Sweis, User Experience Librarian; and Jeannette Moss, User Education Librarian.

A Northwestern Zoom Account is required to access this session.
