Have you thought about the work relationships you need to renew and nourish? As academic librarians, we found COVID, distance learning, DFW (drop, fail, withdraw) rates, and artificial intelligence have all impacted the way university Composition professors work with their students and with us. Strong cross-departmental relationships are key to student success. What are some ways to rebuild those connections?

This presentation addresses steps Amy Craig, Research and Instruction Librarian, and Rachel Tait-Ripperdan, Digital Humanities Librarian at Florida Gulf Coast University have taken to rebuild networks with the Composition department, including some of the continuing challenges. Our experiences and insights are applicable to a variety of workplace relationships.

You've asked an AI generator to create a cat portrait in the style of Picasso, now what? Although sampling the work of others has been a natural part of image creation since humans have communicated through art, new AI tools have complicated that conversation. This workshop will take a behind-the-scenes look at how these tools are built and discuss the ways that people are using AI generated images to create new bodies of work, streamline their research processes, and beautifully muddy current and future copyright waters. You’ll learn your rights as an image creator, and hopefully have a few more answers about where the machine’s art ends and yours begins. No prior experience with AI or code required! 

Presenters:

Siobhan McKissic is the Visiting Design & Materials Research Librarian at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Their academic research centers around the development of non-traditional resource collections, interactive programming about sustainable design and material culture, and highlighting the histories of underrepresented communities. Siobhan is also an artist whose work considers the interwoven relationships between the Black disabled body, nature, craft, and the built environment.

Dr. Mary Borgo Ton is an Assistant Professor and Digital Humanities Librarian at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. She helps researchers and artists use digital tools as they study history, literature, and arts and deepen their creative practice. Her approach to AI is informed by her experience as a business writing instructor and her work in the publishing industry. In her research, she uses machine learning to study the global history of projection.

These “listening sessions” will be informal 2 hour sessions. The sessions will offer library directors an opportunity to talk about their library’s challenges and successes. Although the gathering is intended to be very informal, here are some questions that might help frame the day:

  • Are there opportunities that you see that you can’t take advantage of that maybe CARLI could help you with or leverage for you?
  • Are there other opportunities for collaboration that CARLI should be pursuing? 
  • Are there best practices in your organization that exemplify collaboration through CARLI that we could share with the rest of the consortium?
  • Is there a program/service that you are conducting that could be leveraged at scale?

Registration: To register, please click on the "Register" tab above. The registration deadline is November 19. Please note, lunch will be served at the "listening sessions". 

If you have any questions, please email CARLI at support@carli.illinois.edu.
