In early 2026 my co-worker Jon Manley and I started a generative AI research project with the aim of presenting the results to an audience of library workers. I concentrated on the research end of things while Jon focused on experimenting with the products and seeing how people were feeling about it on social media.
The presentation is over but there are still so many people who have questions that we wanted to make our materials available to everyone who wants to learn more. These are free to use and share but no selling please.
If you've read the above materials and want to learn more, or if you're hoping to track some of what we said back to its original source, check out our sources document! Click on the image to view.
I'm a big book reader and podcast listener, so you can also skip straight to my curated lists:
