AI Fluency Week: Using AI-supported tools for literature searching
Are you using general-purpose chatbots like ChatGPT to find scholarly articles? Join us for this workshop to discover AI-powered research tools available through the library that are designed specifically for scholarly research.
Learn how tools such as Consensus, Keenious, Scite.ai and Scopus AI can help you avoid hallucinated citations while connecting you directly to real scholarly literature. Built on the same powerful large language model technology as general-purpose AI assistants, these tools operate within trusted scholarly databases and integrate more seamlessly with library subscriptions, making it easier to access full-text articles. You'll also see how these tools use citation networks to uncover connections between papers, helping you identify influential research and discover related studies. Advanced filtering options—including publication date, citation count, journal impact, and more—make it easier to find the most relevant and authoritative sources for your research.
