Description

This report looks at how higher education faculty are using support services offered by their academic libraries on the use of artificial intelligence in teaching and research. The study provides specific data points on use of academic library seminars/webinars in this area, dedicated listservs, AI subject specialist librarians, specialized blogs, LibGuides, web pages, and specialized machine learning sites, among other tools.

The report also gives data on faculty satisfaction with academic library services in this area, and expectations for the future. The study helps its readers to answer questions such as: how are academic libraries supporting faculty interest in artificial intelligence? How are academic libraries shaping their efforts in this area? What resources are they putting into this emerging area? How are faculty responding to these efforts? What are they looking for in the future?

Just a few of this 128-page report’s many findings are that:

8% of faculty say that a dedicated AI librarian is available to them.
15.7% of tenured professors say that their libraries provide help in developing particularly effective artificial intelligence prompts.
Older faculty are the most supportive of library efforts to help faculty use artificial intelligence; younger and mid-career faculty are more critical.
Engagement with library listserv posts about AI are highest among fine arts and communications faculties.
Data is based on a survey of 660 higher education faculty broken out by numerous personal and institutional variables enabling readers to pinpoint differences in attitudes and policies towards AI by variables such as gender, ethnicity, academic field, academic title, college type, college size and many other characteristics.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
