Academic campuses that are proponents and enthusiastic adopters of AI do not always create space for the range of nuanced conversations and perspectives on AI that allow faculty to thoughtfully consider its integration into their teaching and research. Academic libraries are centers of research and connection across disciplines and can serve that need for their campus community. 
 
Learn how one academic library at a large R1 institution developed a series of in-person gatherings to create a safe space for faculty to learn about AI as it relates to research and speak freely about their experiences, successes, concerns, and everything in between. The series began with a meetup that allowed faculty to explore and share feedback on the AI integrations in library databases that they and their students would encounter. Next in the series was a meetup that allowed faculty to highlight how they were able to integrate AI in their research processes. Most recently, a panel discussion with campus journal editors was hosted to dive into opportunities and challenges around AI in scholarly publishing. The in-person events were well-attended and feedback suggests that libraries can carve out a space for themselves in AI discussions on their campuses through their unique ability to host and moderate nuanced conversations around AI use in faculty research. Our expertise in information literacy, practice of faculty relationship building, and teaching skills make librarians uniquely qualified to lead more critical and human-centered conversations with faculty on generative AI and the research process.

Are you working on open educational resources (OER) or curious about what others are doing in your field? Join us for a lively virtual meet-up designed to spark ideas, share experiences and tips, and explore opportunities for cross-institutional OER partnerships.

This session is all about connection and inspiration. We’ll:

  • Hear about current OER projects in development or use;
  • Discuss concerns / problems you have encountered;
  • Share tips on possible solutions;
  • Discuss areas of interest for future collaboration;
  • Create space for teaming up on shared goals and initiatives.

Whether you’re just getting started or already deep into OER work, this meet-up is a chance to learn from peers, build new relationships, and imagine what’s possible together.

Mon, Nov 16, 2026 / 9:00am to 10:00am

This session will feature some brief refresher lessons on practices for creating and working with holding records and item records, including the use of templates and working with inventory created by PO lines.

Time will be provided for questions on these topics and others. This event will be recorded, and recordings made available via the Technical Services Q&A Webinar Series.

Technical Services Q&A sessions offer staff at CARLI libraries the opportunity to share best practices and issues of concern with CARLI staff, with members of the Technical Services Committee, and with each other.

It has been six months since CARLI I-Share libraries migrated EBSCO e-collections from the Alma Network Zone to Alma Institution Zones. In this time, CARLI Support has received some tickets for issues involving linking parser parameters. 

In this session, we will review what the linking parser parameters are, where they are located, what is needed in these fields when they are present in an electronic collection, and what kind of errors to be on the lookout for when activating e-collections that use these.

Additionally, each library that attends the session will be provided with a spreadsheet of every e-collection active in your Institution Zone with the associated e-collection IDs, values in the linking parser parameters fields where applicable, and the proxy settings. This can aid in cleaning up e-collections to prevent future issues and errors. Note: This spreadsheet will reflect this information from the specific point in time in which it is downloaded. If activations and deletions occur after this point in time, they will not be reflected in the spreadsheet.

There will be a short presentation, Q & A, and the option to stay in the Zoom for Study Hall to work on cleaning up your institution's Alma e-collections. Registration is required and the presentation with Q & A will be recorded.
