AI in the Library: Maryville University's student-centered approach

From early composition courses to high-level research courses, every researcher can recall the struggle of finding the sources needed to cogently argue a point. As research tools evolved (e.g., library cataloguing systems, digital card catalogs, Google Scholar), these innovations helped us improve the efficiency of our searches. They did not do the work for us. The individuals interviewed have shared a brilliant integration of AI/LLM into the research process, and their tool serves as the next iteration in that cycle.
