Abstract This article focuses on the development of a custom chatbot for Zayed University Library (United Arab Emirates) using Python and the ChatGPT API. The chatbot, named Aisha, was designed to provide quick and efficient reference and support services to students and faculty outside the library’s regular operating hours. The article also discusses the benefits of chatbots in academic libraries, and reviews the early literature on ChatGPT's applicability in this field. The article describes the development process, perceived capabilities and limitations of the bot, and plans for further development. This project represents the first fully reported attempt to explore the potential of a ChatGPT-based bot in academic libraries, and provides insights into the future of AI-based chatbot technology in this context.

discussion of other related topics, such as fact checking and the rapid spread of misinformation. A greater challenge to the spread of misinformation lies in the scientific arena. There one finds pseudoscience, such as unproven claims about a treatment, as well as less trust in traditional sources. The book’s last group of essays show how to discern unproven claims in several ways: the use of ethical framing, understanding of the scientific method, and careful scrutiny of sources. The book’s essays show the larger impact that “fake news” has. Fake news can affect economic and policy decisions, as well as political events. The critical thinking skills of analysis, reflection, and synthesis can help students and other information seekers identify reliable and reputable sources. The book’s editors strongly encourage readers to consult the ACRL framework for information literacy sandbox and Sarah E. Morris’s book Critical thinking about sources cookbook for more detailed activities that relate to fake news. The work of the book’s various librarian contributors ends at 2019, so it may be time for a revised edition. A revised edition could include librarians from other types of libraries and show more collaboration with faculty. This book, in spite of its price, adds some valuable techniques and theory to a librarian’s instruction toolbox, particularly for academic librarians.
讨论其他相关话题，如事实核查和错误信息的迅速传播。对错误信息传播的更大挑战在于科学领域。在那里，人们发现了伪科学，比如对一种治疗方法未经证实的说法，以及对传统来源的不信任。这本书的最后一组文章展示了如何从几个方面辨别未经证实的主张:使用伦理框架，理解科学方法，仔细审查来源。这本书的文章显示了“假新闻”的更大影响。假新闻可以影响经济和政策决策，以及政治事件。分析、反思和综合的批判性思维技能可以帮助学生和其他信息寻求者识别可靠和有信誉的信息来源。这本书的编辑强烈建议读者参考ACRL信息素养沙盒框架和莎拉·e·莫里斯(Sarah E. Morris)的《信息源的批判性思考》一书，了解与假新闻有关的更详细的活动。这本书的各个图书管理员贡献者的工作将于2019年结束，所以可能是时候修订了。修订后的版本可以包括来自其他类型图书馆的图书馆员，并展示更多与教师的合作。这本书，尽管它的价格，增加了一些有价值的技术和理论，图书馆员的教学工具箱，特别是对学术图书馆员。

metadata and scholarship discoverability, a machine learning club for information specialists, handwritten text recognition (HTR) technologies to support research, and using IBM Watson through a library-industry partnership are some of the case studies that comprise this section of the book. Part III, “Toward Future Applications,” contains two chapters that focus on the ethical implications of implicit bias in AI and its impact for academic libraries, and machine information behavior and AI-authorship. This book features a comfortable balance between theoretical and practical application of AI concepts and tools. For instance, Chapter 8’s discussion of Doc2Vec and DBPedia software to enhance metadata discoverability and inform human metadata creation within electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs) is highly informative and relatable. In addition, Chapter 4’s description of empowering graduate students and researchers through interdisciplinary AI projects and the opening of a Collaboratory incubator space within the Ryerson University Library is a strong example of partnership, collaboration, and interdisciplinary support. Overall, this volume is a great book of case studies for experimentation and implementation of AI endeavors within academic libraries.

Abstract Public and internal library chat policies serve to set expectations for library patrons, as well as the library professionals who provide chat reference. These policies, or their absence, shape how academic libraries train for and assess their chat services, as well as how they provide chat instruction. In a post-pandemic environment, academic librarians can expect increasing use of distance services including chat reference. This case study reviews the public chat policies of “Big 12” and Association of Research Libraries (ARL) libraries across 12 categories. It also reviews the chat transcripts of two subject librarians from August 2017 through May 2018 and again from March 2020 through December 2021, the latter coinciding with the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. This study provides a look at the purposes and efficacy of internal and public chat reference policies.
