AI Research and Writing Integration Project

This is a resource for a potential dual reference interview or formal IL one-shot instruction lesson process that outlines a series of "flashcards" that connect stages of the reference interview to aspects of AI literacy using Research as Inquiry, Searching as Strategic Exploration, and Scholarship as Conversation. Some of the context for their development was as part of a potential collaboration with the Writing Center. Flashcard 5 is seen as more of a connect students to the Writing Center step in that potential collaboration.

Gemini didn’t concretely connect the Stanford AI Literacy domains, but I did an initial mapping of example objectives from the Ethical and Rhetorical domains to each "flashcard. " Certain domains may be more or less relevant to different disciplines and class assignments. 

This resource may be of use to academic libraries exploring formal or informal collaborations with other learning support services on their campus. It may also provide an opportunity to measure library department adoption of AI tools to support learning and students' use of information resources and technologies in and outside of their college or university library. The overarching goal is to develop a foundation for broadening the scope of this approach from the reference interview, to the course, and then to a wider information literacy program that resonates outside of the library and builds relationships.
