AI Literacy in the Age of ChatGPT

How UA libraries can help

Our approach to information literacy allows us to teach students the "why" instead of only the "how," and it helps them think of themselves as creators and participants in scholarly communications. It also addresses competencies that students need to develop in order to become skillful researchers.

We can work with you to embed information literacy (including AI literacy) into your courses.
