"AI can be a transformative tool to augment abilities and improve or streamline teaching and learning processes. Mollick and Mollick (2023a) discuss teaching strategies where AI can enhance learning, whereas the same authors (2023b) illustrate different ways to use AI with students such as mentor, coach, or simulator, as well as how to help them be critical thinkers when using AI. Librarians can translate these ideas to library instruction and reference interactions. For instance, using effective AI prompts can help students develop a research question before or at the start of a library instruction session. Educators can provide AI prompts such as “you’re writing a research paper on [topic]; help me brainstorm effective research questions” to help students jumpstart their research process. AI can summarize studies (e.g. Elicit), provide search results or written content based on studies (e.g. Consensus), and help with bibliographic mining (e.g. ResearchRabbit)."  -Tips and Trends
