This webinar will equip attendees with the knowledge and tools to navigate the challenges of AI-generated text, specifically focusing on the risk of hallucinated citations. We will delve into the nature of hallucinated citations, where AI models confidently cite nonexistent or fabricated sources. This phenomenon poses significant threats to research integrity, as it can lead to flawed conclusions and undermine the credibility of academic work.

Presenter: Stephanie Johnson, Reference and Instruction Librarian, National University

This webinar highlights how librarians can embed themselves in first-year critical writing courses to teach students not only how to use AI tools, but how to think critically about them. At Goldey-Beacom College, the librarian partnered with faculty across two semesters to integrate AI Tools like Grammarly and Litmaps into the curriculum, guiding students to recognize when AI suggestions help and when rejecting them preserves voice and develops an authentic scholarly persona. By comparing corrective and exploratory AI tools, the study shows how librarian-led instruction can foster academic integrity, information literacy, and student agency.

Attendees will leave with practical strategies to adapt at their own institutions, positioning librarians as key leaders in cultivating critical AI literacy.

Presenter: 

Russell Michalak, MLIS, is Director of the Library at Goldey-Beacom College. With over 20 years of experience in academic and special libraries, he has published widely on AI integration, ethics, and information literacy, including recent articles in the Journal of Library Administration and The Serials Librarian. His work focuses on developing ethical, scalable frameworks for embedding AI tools into higher education curricula, supporting student agency, and advancing equity in digital literacy.

The virtual program will contain both synchronous (3 live 90 minutes Zoom sessions) and asynchronous activities (readings, videos, etc.) to be completed before each live session. The live sessions will include some presentations, but the aim of the program planners is that these will incorporate a flipped classroom model to build community among participants as all share and discuss the topics.

The asynchronous portions of the training, shared with participants weekly, should not take longer than one hour of your time prior to each live session.

The train-the-trainer program is designed to help the novice person learning about open educational resources to apply the information from this program to build their own local programs and workshops as they move up the Bloom’s Taxonomy from remember and understand to apply.
