The range of content presented here includes: academic research, case study, survey report, teaching framework, Online tutorial, and even an AI prompt library developed by librarians.

The aim of this bibliography is to present a range of sources that represent the existing body of research on the topic, as well as some useful practical examples of training development and frameworks. Despite the availability of GenAI programs being a relatively recent phenomenon, it was impossible to present the rich range of sources available on this subject here, and so this bibliography presents a distilled yet ultimately incomplete body of information.

It is hoped that the range of information presented here demonstrates the challenges, possibilities and potential for academic librarians seeking to offer profound and transformative GenAI literacy training to their users.

Authors are university librarians, one of whom has previously published research in the LIS field. In this research article they seek to develop new training initiatives to assist their student population in learning to use GenAI tools, specifically ChatGPT, responsibly. They developed an online ChatGPT tutorial in Canvas, a ‘Two-Minute Tutorial’ on using ChatGPT for social media, and a live research skills webinar on the viability of ChatGPT as a research tool. Their results show that workshop participants use ChatGPT to gather background information on a topic, gather citations, and to assist with paraphrasing and writing. In response, they are collaborating with their university’s centre for Academic Success to develop advice on the use of GenAI in academic writing and research. The data gathered was limited to attendees at the three workshops only. However, the process demonstrates that a holistic response from both the library and other university departments may be necessary.
