From AI Summaries to Real Sources: Practical Tips for using Open Access in the Age of AI

Artificial intelligence has changed the face of research for many people. Patrons are arriving at the reference desk with AI-generated answers that are fast, confident-sounding, and often wrong. How do librarians respond in the moment, and how do we help patrons build better research habits before they get there?

Join us for this free webinar as we tackle the information literacy conversation happening right now in public libraries. We'll share practical language and ready-to-use frameworks for guiding patrons from AI summaries toward verified, attributable sources without dismissing their experience or losing their attention. We'll also look at the broader access problem that makes AI so appealing in the first place: when quality sources are paywalled and intimidating, patrons take the path of least resistance. Open access offers a better path. 

Together, we will:

  • Examine why AI overviews are so appealing to patrons and what that tells us about how we communicate the value of quality sources 
  • Learn how to identify AI-generated content in books and research materials   
  • Walk through practical frameworks for guiding patrons toward more responsible research choices
  • Explore how CloudSource OA connects patrons to more than 83 million vetted open access and open educational resources in one click and no authentication barriers 

Open access isn't just a budget workaroundit's a research integrity strategy your patrons can actually use. Let us show you how CloudSource OA can help your library bridge the gap between AI convenience and information quality. Register today. 

Note: We will offer certificates of completion for this OA Master Class and all future Master Classes! Join us live (or on demand) to receive one immediately following the webinar.
