Our first Library 2.025 online mini-conference, “AI and Libraries: Literacy, Ethics, and Responsible Use,” was held online this past Thursday, March 13th, 2025. We ultimately had over 9,400 registrations, and it was the highest-attended event we’ve ever held.
RECORDINGS:
1. LIBRARY 2.0: The conference recordings on Library 2.0 are HERE and include the full video recordings, the chat logs, and an AI summary for each session. Please note that you do need to be a member of Library 2.0 (free) and logged in to see the page (click HERE to join if you haven’t already).
Also included on that page are several AI-generated summaries for the conference as a whole:
- An AI Summary of the whole conference (from ChatGPT)
- An AI Press Release / Article reporting on the conference (from ChatGPT)
- A NotebookLM audio overview (podcast of 31 minutes)
- A NotebookLM FAQ on AI and Libraries
- A NotebookLM briefing document
- A NotebookLM conference study guide
These are not just fun (which they are), but are also a fascinating and valuable upgrade to the conference experience. Please remember that they are AI-generated and may not be entirely accurate (see my blog post on “AI and the Cliff Clavin Problem” for more on the topic of LLM accuracy!).
2. YOUTUBE: The conference video recordings are also posted in the Library 2.0 channel HERE.
EVALUATIONS & CERTIFICATES OF ATTENDANCE:
A link to submit for certificates of attendance is also on the recording page.
THANKS:
Huge thanks to our Chad Mairn and our keynote panel, to all our presenters, to our volunteers helpers, and to our founding conference sponsor, The School of Information at San José State University.
As always, see you online!
