CUSTOMIZING AI:
Unlocking Real Productivity with Custom Models, AI Agents, and Precision Prompting
A Library 2.0 "AI Deep Dive" Workshop with Reed Hepler

OVERVIEW: 

This 90-minute workshop builds on the evolving landscape of AI customization, exploring how professionals can maximize AI tools for enhanced productivity in academic, library, and professional settings. In today's fast-paced, data-driven environment, the demand for efficiency and innovation has never been higher. Professionals face a flood of AI tools and lists of prompts promising productivity boosts, but the key challenge is implementing solutions that truly improve workflows with a human-centered focus.

In October 2024, we presented a session on custom AI models, such as Custom GPTs. Over the past year, these have been complemented by more advanced "AI Agents," which can execute multi-step tasks across multiple programs for complex workflows. Additionally, using generalized AI tools with tailored, specific prompts offers greater capabilities than generic interactions. Together, custom models, AI agents, and precision prompting represent the three primary methods for optimizing AI in professional contexts.

This hands-on, in-depth workshop, designed for librarians, educators, and other professionals, will guide participants through customizing AI to streamline work processes, enhance data analysis, improve communication, and manage projects more effectively. Attendees will learn the foundational principles of AI tool creation and leave with a custom model or use case that boosts productivity while emphasizing transparency and ethical responsibility. 

The workshop covers key topics, including how AI tools work, custom AI in context, and the three custom solutions and when to use each. Participants will gain practical strategies for integrating customized AI responsibly, ensuring outputs are accurate, unbiased, and ethically sound.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

• Understand the functions and evolution of AI customization methods for professional productivity, including custom models, AI agents, and precision prompting.
• Develop skills for assessing and implementing AI solutions that go beyond basic prompting to achieve targeted outcomes.
• Gain insights into ethical and transparent use of customized AI tools in workflows.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:

Upon completing this webinar, attendees will be able to:

• Build and fine-tune custom AI models, such as Custom GPTs, to address specific professional needs like data analysis or project management.
• Utilize AI agents for multi-step, complex tasks across programs, while identifying when to apply each customization method.
• Create and apply specific prompts in general AI tools for enhanced results, fostering responsible, productive, and ethical AI integration in daily work.

Intentional Education with AI: The Amish Test and Generative Teaching

"What kind of person do you want your child to be at age 30?" 

This question, commonly asked in parenting classes in order to escape the understandable frame of immediate parenting difficulties, also cuts to the heart of education's deeper purpose. What are our most aspirational goals for our children and students? 

As AI transforms classrooms worldwide, we need clear answers, because unthinking adoption risks shaping minds that fall short of our ideals.

The "Amish Test" can provide a framework for navigating this challenge. Inspired by Kevin Kelly's What Technology Wants and popularized by thinkers like Cal Newport and David Griesing, this approach asks a simple question: Does the use of technology align with our values, and will it help accomplish our long-term goals? For educators, parents, and students, applying this test can help ensure AI nurtures the thinkers we hope to cultivate rather than undermining them.

Beyond Technological Awe: The Real Stakes

The Amish Test isn't about rejecting technology, it's about deliberate choice. Amish communities carefully evaluate new tools, asking whether they strengthen or weaken community bonds, self-reliance, and spiritual growth. They adopt what serves their values and reject what doesn't.

Education desperately needs this same intentionality, and has for a long while. In 2017 I wrote a report on "Modern Learning" and argued that the widespread purchasing of laptops was failing the Amish Test and was the technological equivalent of the desperate "Hail Mary" pass in football. Spending money and distributing laptops became an all-consuming effort without any real evidence of benefit. 

Reports from industry and academia now warn that overreliance on AI can hinder clear thinking and writing skills. Like junk food that tastes good but harms our health, convenient AI tools can offer immediate gratification while undermining long-term development. Asking students not to use AI for short-term gains in a compliance- and grade-driven environment is way too tempting to resist.

In stark language, here are the contrasting scenarios:

• Thought-less promotion and hidden use of AI: Students use AI, often surreptitiously, to generate essays and written homework without actually engaging with ideas, weakening their ability to think critically and express themselves clearly, and leading to actual reduction in capability.
• Intentional use: Parents and teachers both model and then teach students to use AI as a research assistant and thought partner, learning to ask better questions while developing their own analytical skills. 

The difference lies in whether we prioritize convenience or growth. 

The Hidden Trap in Current Schooling

Here's an uncomfortable truth: traditional schooling, despite promises of liberating young minds, has always excelled more at training compliance than fostering independent thinking. While we often claim otherwise, it's largely designed to create standardized workers, not creative thinkers.

Unless we acknowledge this reality, we'll miss what's really at stake with AI adoption. Unexamined AI use in an unexamined education system will amplify these existing flaws, producing students who are even less self-directed and capable. The temptation for quick AI-generated answers, rather than wrestling with complex problems, threatens the very traits we want in our future adults: curiosity, agency, and resilience.

Generative Teaching: A Path Forward

Erik Erikson's concept of generativity—the concern for nurturing the next generation—offers a powerful framework for educators. Generative teaching means envisioning the 30-year-old we hope to nurture and working backward to design learning experiences that build those qualities.

This approach transforms how we evaluate AI tools:

Instead of asking: "Will this make teaching easier?"
Ask: "Will this help students become more creative, self-directed, and capable of independent thought?"

Instead of asking: "Does this improve test scores?"
Ask: "Does this foster the character traits and thinking skills our students will need as adults?"

Applying the Amish Test in Practice

Here's how educators and parents can apply this framework:

1. Define Your Vision. Start with clarity about the adult you want to nurture. What character traits matter most? Independence? Creativity? Critical thinking? Empathy?

2. Evaluate Each Tool. For every AI application, ask:

• Does this strengthen or weaken deep learning?
• Does it encourage students to think harder or avoid thinking altogether?
• Will this tool help students become more self-directed over time?

3. Model Intentional Use. Students learn more from what we do than what we say. Demonstrate thoughtful technology choices and discuss your reasoning openly.

4. Teach the Framework Help students apply their own Amish Test to AI tools. This metacognitive skill—thinking about how they think and learn—may be more valuable than any specific technology.

I recognize that this requires educators and parents to become familiar not only with the new AI tools, but also to think more deeply about what education actually is. I don't have any inclination to shy away from that. If you're going to play this role with students, you should do it well. 

From Crutch to Catalyst

When applied thoughtfully, the Amish Test transforms AI from a potential crutch into a catalyst for growth. Students learn to direct technology rather than be directed by it. They develop the discernment to ask: "How can I use this tool to become a better thinker, not just get faster answers?"

This isn't about resistance to change—it's about ensuring change serves human flourishing. As David Griesing urges, we must tame technology to serve our values, not let it dictate them.

The Call to Action

The future depends on adults who can think clearly, act independently, and adapt creatively. The Amish Test offers a way to safeguard these qualities in an AI-driven world.

Before implementing that next AI tool in your classroom or home, pause and ask: Does this align with the creative, self-directed adult I want this student to become?

The answer will guide you toward an education that nurtures thinkers, not followers—preparing young people not just for the jobs of tomorrow, but for lives of meaning and agency.

AI as Writing Mentor: Question-Based Rather Than Prompt-Based LLM Assistance

We've come a long way with Large Language Model (LLM) interactions. 

First, we were worrying about crafting the perfect prompts or queries. Now many of us have moved to a more collaborative approach, where the LLM helps you refine and improve your prompts or queries through multiple iterations and what Reed Hepler calls "Conversation Steering." But even this evolved method is still fundamentally prompt-based. What if there's an even more natural alternative?

The Problems with Current Approaches

There are real and growing concerns about AI's impact on our thinking abilities. Research is starting to show that overreliance on AI can actually diminish our cognitive skills, both as professionals and as students. This isn't necessarily a conscious choice since it's just so easy and tempting to outsource our language and writing to AI. When we constantly let the LLMs do our reasoning or thinking and writing, we risk weakening the very mental muscles that make us effective thinkers, writers, and problem-solvers.

Beyond these cognitive risks, there's another fundamental problem: traditional prompt-based AI interactions don't produce writing that feels authentic, least of all to ourselves. It's not just a nagging feeling that the output isn't you. It actually isn't you. The language, the phrasing, the way ideas connect--these are all generated content that may cover your topic but doesn't really capture your authentic voice and sometimes not even your actual thinking process.

A Different Way of Learning

I believe we learn more naturally through conversation and dialogue rather than through traditional information delivery methods. This belief shapes how I think about productive AI interactions. If you're interested in exploring this learning philosophy further, I've written about it in more detail here.

Discovering the Power of Interview-Based Learning

Over four years, I conducted several hundred interviews as part of my FutureofEducation.com project, and that experience taught me that interview conversations can be an extremely effective way of diving into a topic. The interview process doesn't just extract information, it actually helps the guest communicate their ideas in more cogent and immediate ways and makes the material much more accessible to the listener. Witness the explosion of podcasts and interview formats, and even tools like NotebookLM's podcast feature--there's clearly something powerful about this conversational approach to exploring ideas.

The Breakthrough: Flipping the Script

This insight led me to an idea: what if I interviewed experts and then sent those transcripts through large language models to help them write books on their areas of expertise?  In a flash, I then realized I could flip the script entirely on my own interactions with large language models. Instead of me prompting the AI, what if I had the AI interviewed me? So I built a prompt that would tell the large language model how to interact with me in a question-based way. The fact that I can then have these conversation through voice chat rather than typing makes the whole process incredibly natural because it's very much like an actual interview with a person. Well, like with a person who has an encyclopedic memory and sometimes speaks like a robot. But still...

The Irish Wisdom Behind It All

There's a saying that was originally represented to me as an old Irish saying: "How will I know what I think until I hear myself say it?"  I've always loved it because it really reflects my own personality. It turns out that the provenance of the thought is a little richer than that (see https://quoteinvestigator.com/2019/12/11/know-say/), but however expressed it captures exactly what happens in this question-based approach with LLMs. The process of speaking my thoughts out loud in response to questions doesn't just help me communicate what I already know, it actually helps me discover and refine my thinking in real-time. It's like being interviewed by an expert and then getting to edit my words and thoughts afterwards. It's learning through conversation, and then that learning becomes writing. It's an incredibly active and interactive process that keeps me fully engaged.

Real Results: My Personal Experience

I've now used this approach three times, and I'm genuinely floored by what a great way this is to interact with AI and to help me in my writing. The output is literally my specific words and thoughts put into writing, just organized and refined through conversation. The AI isn't generating content for me; it's helping me discover and articulate what I already think about a topic. Plus, I can interrupt (which I do frequently) and change wording to actually reflect what I'm thinking, now what the AI is writinhg. I don't feel the same way I would with interrupting a person because I know the large language model isn't upset with me, so I can make constant corrections.

AI as Writing Mentor, Not Writing Replacement

This approach fundamentally changes the relationship between human and AI. Instead of the AI writing for me, it becomes a writing mentor - asking thoughtful questions, helping me organize my ideas, and guiding me through my own thinking process. It's not replacing my cognition; it's enhancing it. The AI becomes a collaborative partner that helps me access and structure knowledge I already possess, or research what I would additionally like or need to know, rather than generating external content that I then would have to adapt or edit to sound like me.

Applications for Educators and Students

For teachers, librarians, parents, and students, this approach offers exciting possibilities. Instead of worrying about students using AI to cheat or bypass their own thinking, we can teach them to use AI as an intellectual partner that provides an AI form of Socratic teaching. Students can have AI interview them about their research topics, helping them discover what they actually know, identify gaps in their understanding, and then provide help in learning about the areas they need to learn about in order to complete the subject. It's like having a Socratic dialogue with the world's most learned mentor. Teachers can model this process, showing how thoughtful questioning leads to deeper exploration of subjects, the same principle that makes Socratic dialogue so powerful in the classroom. Reviewing the chat log with the student could become an incredible second opportunity for exploring how to learn, shape ideas, and communicate.

The Bigger Picture: A New Vision for Human-AI Collaboration

This shift from prompt-based to question-based AI interactions represents something much larger than just a better writing technique. It's a fundamental reimagining of how humans and AI can work together. Instead of treating AI as a sophisticated content generator that we command, we're discovering its potential as a thinking partner that helps us access our own knowledge and develop our own ideas. This approach takes us away from trying to achieve artificial general intelligence or artificial superintelligence through large language models (which may not actually be possible, although the appearance of it is surely possible), and instead gives us a really good model for how large language models can evolve to help us as humans. This collaborative approach doesn't just produce better writing - it actually strengthens our cognitive abilities rather than weakening them. Perhaps this is the future of productive AI use: not replacement, but a unique intellectual partnership.

Unleashing Human Potential: One View of The AI Revolution

Taking a beautiful photograph used to require mastering complex technical skills: understanding aperture, shutter speed, and film exposure. Today, anyone with a smartphone can capture stunning images by focusing just on composition, timing, and creative vision. This shift isn't necessarily better than the old way, and there is some loss of genuine accomplishment and deep satisfaction that came from mastering those technical constraints. The technological improvements fundamentally simplified what accomplishment in photography requires, but they also opened the door to far more people to be able to accomplish the creative goals they'd always envisioned. The photographer's eye remains as important as ever; we've simply changed the technical barriers.

Something similar is happening with artificial intelligence and human potential, though the implications run much deeper than the example of photography. To understand why AI feels so transformative, we need to grapple with what I call the paleolithic paradox. Our brains evolved over millions of years to thrive in small hunter-gatherer communities, coping with often-immediate survival challenges through pattern recognition, social cooperation, shared narratives, and quick decision-making. Yet we've spent a few millennia wondering why these cognitive systems often haven't served us as well as we thought they should (why is our thinking often so imperfect?). We have expected those evolved systems to excel at tasks they just weren't designed for, in environments that have become increasingly artificial. We consistently overestimate our brain's capacity for these modern cognitive demands while underestimating the evolutionary constraints that shape how we actually think.

Consider the daily cognitive challenges most of us face. We try to hold multiple complex ideas in working memory while synthesizing information from dozens of sources. We attempt to process curernt events, research literature, data, and competing priorities simultaneously, often feeling overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information thrown at us. Meanwhile, our cognitive heuristics--those mental shortcuts that helped our ancestors survive--now trap us in fascinatingly predictable patterns. We gravitate toward information that confirms our existing beliefs, we rely on the most recent or emotionally vivid examples rather than comprehensive data, we struggle to see beyond our immediate perspective, and we're hugely influenced by the beliefs and ideas of the social groups around us. In the Paleolithic Era, these were features, not bugs. It's just now that they have become bugs when we're trying to navigate a world they weren't designed for. The wonder isn't that we find these tasks to be difficult, it's that we expect our paleolithic brains to excel at them in the first place.

This is where artificial intelligence can be ansformative, not because it thinks like us, but because it excels at precisely the cognitive heavy lifting our brains struggle with. AI can process vast amounts of information and literature in seconds, cross-reference patterns across thousands of studies, and synthesize all of it. If we ask it to, it can serve as a neutral thinking partner, helping us challenge our assumptions and explore perspectives we might never consider on our own. When we use AI to search medical literature, analyze complex data, or explore deep research questions, we're not replacing human intelligence, we're can allow our paleolithic brains to focus on what they seem do uniquely well: extapolation, creative synthesis, intuitive leaps, meaningful connections, and the kind of wisdom that emerges from lived experience. AI handles the information processing; we handle the insight.

Perhaps most importantly, AI returns us to a more natural learning style. Throughout the civilized era, we have learned through conversation: asking questions, getting responses, and exploring ideas through dialogue. Books, for all their value, represent a relatively recent and fundamentally linear approach to knowledge that doesn't match how our brains evolved to process information. We learn best through back-and-forth exchange, through the ability to ask follow-up questions, seek clarification, and explore tangential ideas as they arise. AI conversation allows us to engage with vast repositories of human knowledge in this natural, dialogical way. Instead of struggling through dense academic papers or trying to extract relevant information from static texts, we can query, probe, and start to explore ideas through the kind of interactive dialogue that our paleolithic brains were designed for. This can democratize the ability to think more deeply, making more complex intellectual exploration accessible to those who don't have a natural inclination toward dense technical or academic literature. We're not just accessing information more efficiently; we have the opportunity to learn in the way that feels most natural to us.

But the true revolution extends far beyond individual empowerment. For the first time in human history, we have the ability to synthesize and access the collective wisdom of our entire species. AI can identify patterns across centuries of research, connect insights from disparate fields, and help us see the larger tapestries of human knowledge--something that very few human minds have ever been able to do. When we ask AI to analyze decades of scientific research, synthesize findings from thousands of studies, or explore connections between historical patterns and contemporary challenges, we're not just overcoming our personal cognitive limitations, we're transcending our collective ones. We can finally ask questions of all human knowledge and get meaningful responses. These are not definitive answers, and we are not yet experts, but this does bring us closer to understanding the complex relationships and tensions that are so important to humanity's past and future. This represents a species-level leap in our ability to build upon everything we've learned, to see where gaps remain, and to move forward with a new clarity about what we know and what we still need to discover. We're unleashing not just individual potential, but humanity's collective intellectual capacity.

This isn't a Pollyanna vision. The same technologies that can unleash human potential can also be used to manipulate us, exploit our psychological vulnerabilities, or create dependencies that diminish our own creative and critical thinking capacities. We are living through both what may be the most exciting moment for human potential in our species' history and what may possibly be the most dangerous. The stakes on both sides have never been higher. But acknowledging these very real challenges doesn't diminish the profound opportunity before us. When we approach AI thoughtfully--as a cognitive partner rather than a replacement, and as a tool for democratizing deep thinking rather than eliminating the need for it--we open doors that have been closed throughout human history. The question isn't whether we'll face risks as we navigate this transformation. The question is whether we'll have the wisdom to harness this unprecedented expansion of human capability while preserving what makes us most essentially human: our creativity, our judgment, our capacity for meaning-making, our ability to think independently, and our ability to care for one another and our shared future.

New Webinar: "NotebookLM: An Amazing Tool for Learning" with Nicole Hennig

 

NotebookLM:
An Amazing Tool for Learning
An "What's New in AI" Workshop with Nicole Hennig

OVERVIEW: 

In this introduction to NotebookLM, we’ll explore what makes it different from ChatGPT‑style chatbots, how it integrates information from your uploaded sources, and why these capabilities can be useful for students and professionals at any stage of life.

With a guided tour of the interface, you’ll see how to bring PDFs, web pages, YouTube videos, Google Docs, your own notes, and more into a notebook, where you can then ask questions and build study guides, FAQs, mind maps, audio and video overviews.

You’ll come to understand how this tool is grounded only in the sources you give it, instead of its training data or various sources from the web. ​​If NotebookLM is unable to answer a question, that’s usually because the information is not in the sources you gave it.

Through demonstrated examples you’ll discover ways people are using NotebookLM to help with their own learning. We’ll also clarify how copyright and user privacy apply when incorporating licensed materials. And we’ll outline NotebookLM’s current limitations and share strategies for encouraging critical thinking.

We’ll close by covering where to track future updates and, in a live chat brainstorm, help generate fresh ideas for educational use.

Expect to leave with practical tips—and plenty of inspiration—to start experimenting back at your library.

New Webinar: "Service, Safety, and Security: Important Lessons for the Current State of the Library"

Service, Safety, and Security:
Important Lessons for the Current State of the Library
Part of the Library 2.0 Service, Safety, and Security Series with Dr. Steve Albrecht

OVERVIEW: 

After 25 years in the library security, training, and consulting business, Steve Albrecht has strong feelings about what he has seen and what still needs to be done to create (or re-create) the libraries that patrons want to visit, and that the employees want to work at. It all comes down to how we address these three concerns:

Service issues: Disrespectful, entitled, and hypersensitive patrons can be hard to serve, since they are distracted by their own sense of importance, which leads to problems listening and responding to staff requests. Students and parents who are rude to staff just trying to do their jobs; patrons with significant mental health issues; and patrons who continually violate library noise rules, Internet usage rules, and trespass, even after being banned.

Safety issues: Old library buildings, often in major disrepair, that make both employees and patrons uncomfortable. Threats of crime and violence spilling over from the streets to the library. No money for security upgrades or installations, until after there is an incident. Elderly patrons, daily or frequent users, and parents with their kids, who don’t feel their local library is safe anymore. Staff safety concerns lead to morale, burnout, and retention problems, leading to staff leaving and the remaining employees having to work short-staffed. Neighborhoods where staff coming and going to work is uncomfortable. A perceived lack of support from Library Boards and city/county leaders or elected officials, who don’t think about the library until there is a major problem.

Security issues: Fear of or a lack of confidence in the police, leading staff to hesitate to call 9-1-1, even when it’s the absolute right thing to do. Continuing conflicts with book banners, content protesters, and people who want to distrust library programs they disagree with. On-going and seemingly unsolvable issue with disruptive homeless people, who don’t care about the library or its rules (when compared to cooperative, compliant homeless patrons, who do want to be there and don’t want to be asked to leave).

LEARNING AGENDA: 

• How can we hire, train, and retain the best-service oriented employees.
• How the lack of civility in our current culture contributes to patron confrontations in the library. What to do about chronic rule-breakers and Code of Conduct violators.
• What Steve Albrecht learned from being interviewed in the July 7, 2025 Free Press piece, “The Death of the Public Library.”
• How to use our websites and social media channels to both publicize and really emphasize the safety of our libraries.
• How to work as library leaders and staff, to get back to the universal goal of a safe, secure, peaceful, accessible library, with staff who feel trained, empowered, confident, supported, and willing to serve all who want to use the facility the right way.

New Masterclass Series - "WELLNESS IN LIBRARIES" with Loida Garcia-Febo

WELLNESS IN LIBRARIES
Four Masterclasses with Loida Garcia-Febo
The Library 2.0 Mental Health and Wellness Program

OVERVIEW:

This is a professional development series supporting inclusive, resilient, and thriving library environments.

As demands on library staff grow—from digital overload to complex community needs—well-being is no longer a perk. It is essential to productivity, retention, and service excellence. This next-level wellness series builds on foundational practices by introducing forward-thinking strategies tailored for modern library environments.

Each session offers tools that foster focus, resilience, and authentic connection—helping both staff and administrators transform wellness into a shared cultural value.

WHY THIS SERIES MATTERS FOR LIBRARY WORKERS:

• Wellness must be inclusive to be effective.
  Library workers bring diverse identities, neurotypes, and cultural experiences. When wellness efforts recognize these differences, they foster a deeper sense of belonging, psychological safety, and full participation across the team. (Class 1)
• Empathy and connection are essential to service excellence.
  Transformational service cultures center emotional safety, collaboration, and human connection—within teams and with patrons. This series helps staff strengthen relationships in a digitally demanding and socially fragmented world. (Class 2)
• Resilience is a shared responsibility—before, during, and after crisis.
  Library staff often face high-stress moments with limited support. Building emotional readiness, trauma-aware communication, and thoughtful recovery protocols helps teams feel safer, stronger, and more confident in the face of uncertainty. (Class 3)
• Joy is a strategic tool for retention, renewal, and engagement. When joy, gratitude, and collective celebration are woven into daily routines, library teams feel energized, connected, and committed to their work. This session invites staff to co-create a workplace culture that uplifts and sustains. (Class 4)

OUTCOMES:

• Combat Burnout: Increased productivity through stronger focus and reduced burnout.Learn tools to manage emotional demands and stay energized.
  
• Support Everyone: Gain inclusive wellness strategies for diverse staff needs. Alignment with accessibility and community-building priorities.
• Find Balance: Reduce digital overload and reconnect with purpose. Greater staff satisfaction and retention.
• Work with Joy: Build a positive, connected team that delivers great service. Stronger service outcomes through emotionally and culturally equipped staff.

BENEFITS FOR LIBRARY AND STAFF MEMBERS:

• Practical tools to manage digital fatigue, emotional load, and crisis recovery.
• A deeper sense of inclusion, belonging, and connection with colleagues and patrons.
• Opportunities to co-create a joyful and meaningful workplace.

New Webinar - "YOUR BRAIN ON AI: Staying Smart in the Age of Chatbots"

YOUR BRAIN ON AI:
Staying Smart in the Age of Chatbots
An "AI Essentials" Webinar with Crystal Trice

OVERVIEW: 

A recent MIT study found that over-relying on AI writing tools like ChatGPT can reduce brain activity and memory. However, when used with intention, AI can be more than a shortcut. It can be a thinking partner, a tutor, or even a guide on the side.

In this session, you’ll learn how to use AI to ask better questions, support learning, and improve your daily work. We’ll explore a simple 20 Questions technique—adapted from a reference interview—that helps you, your patrons, or your students use AI tools to build understanding, clarify goals, and take the next step. Whether you’re helping someone at the desk or writing something new yourself, this approach encourages deeper thinking and stronger results.

LEARNING AGENDA:

• Discover how AI can support—not replace—thinking, learning, and writing.
• Practice the 20 Questions technique to guide AI interactions with purpose.
• Apply this approach to real-world situations, from daily tasks to writing support.
• Reflect on how to model thoughtful AI use for colleagues, patrons, and students.

This 60-minute online webinar is part of our "AI Essentials" Series. The recording and presentation slides will be available to all who register.

DATE: August 15, 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm US - Eastern Time

COST:
