Wednesday, April 8, 2026 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm EDT (GMT -04:00)

Session Description:

Electronic and print resources are becoming overpopulated with an abundance of AI created or partially created by AI ebooks. These books could be the resources you are using for research or the newest romcom book you just downloaded, bought or borrowed. Knowing the difference between human authors and AI authors is becoming. Additionally, disclosure of AI generation being used is not always up front. While it is not necessarily a bad thing to interact with AI generated resources, users should be aware of how their resources were created and what to be cautious of in the process.
