AI is one of those generational tech topics that isn’t going away soon. But the signal to noise (or hype to reality) ratio can be truly overwhelming.
There are just so many links, opinions, new resources that are getting lost in the mix. And that’s for us information and tech nerds – we can only imagine how difficult it is for busy library professionals to keep on top of this interesting but dynamic topic.
So we’re launching a new weekly AI news update to share just a few important links, relevant and useful for library and information professionals. This is (kind of) a spinoff from our main libraries newsletter and its focus on tech, innovation and interesting things happening in the library sector.
Highly curated and from a range of perspectives. The last thing we want to do is add to the noise, so the selection and brevity matters to us. We are also not interested in hype. We are interested in the wheat separated from the chaff, the useful and applicable news for the library sector, positive, negative and everything in-between. AI news by and for library pros. Written by humans.
Like the main newsletter that we’ve published for a long time now, this will be international and focused on usefulness. Resources, advice and experiences from other library pros are key.
But it’s early days and we always welcome feedback about content, frequency and how this publication evolves.
And this won’t affect our other newsletter, which will still publish innovation news for libraries every other Tuesday.
