Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is revolutionizing traditional search methods, leading to significant changes in information discovery and literacy. The panel will explore the shift from keyword-based searches to conversational, AI-driven queries and their impact on scholarly information-seeking behaviors. Discussions will include an analysis of a university’s GenAI pilot project and its varied effects across different academic disciplines. Additionally, insights from a leading academic publisher will highlight the development of AI-enhanced platforms and the role of user feedback. The session will conclude with strategies for integrating GenAI into information literacy frameworks, enhancing librarian skills, and exploring new collaborative initiatives, providing a crucial dialogue for libraries and content providers in the context of GenAI’s rapidly changing landscape.
