Your Subject Librarian team have been hard at work over the “summer” (seriously, did it ever stop raining?) to bring you a newly updated AI Guide which outlines how you can use AI to get the best out of the library’s resources.
AI and the Library
The Guide offers advice on:
- How you might use AI.
- Some of the AI tools that might be useful for you.
- The benefits of using AI over traditional search engines.
- The appropriate and ethical use of AI tools.
- Effective prompt building.
- Some of the potential risks of using AI (including issues around copyright infringement, bias, and data protection).
- The impact of AI on academic integrity.

As a companion to the Guide, we are going to offer a series of blog posts which will look at the advice given in the guide in more detail and offer some practical tips for using AI.
Here’s a sneak peek of what you can expect in the coming weeks:
- Reviews of AI tools.
- Practical advice on effective prompt building.
- Developing smart keyword searches.
- Discovering resources related to your area of study.
- Evaluating AI outputs by applying the CRAAP test.
- The risks of using AI.
We hope that you will find our Guide and the series of blog posts useful. It is important to stress that you must follow the guidelines on the use of AI issued by your department (where available).
