Topic Discussion (Ex Libris/ProQuest/Clarivate AI Products)
by Pate, Davin April 3, 2025

April 3, 2025

Hi Everyone, I wanted to begin our initial Topic Discussion series with the following: What Clarivate/ProQuest/Ex Libris AI Products/Tools are you or your university currently investigating? What have you liked about the products and have you seen any Initial problems or concerns regarding the products? If you have seen a significant concern, what case have you submitted, if any, and the case number associated with the issue. I hope to track the information on a spreadsheet and provide it to the related working groups/steering. We have a number of Ex Libris developers on this list so it will also assist with pointing out issues as well as sharing what people are finding helpful. Thanks again for your contributions, Davin Pate, M.L.S.

To patrons, it is unclear what are the benefits and advantages of using it over other AI tools or Primo, here is the response. Primo Research Assistant (RA) is designed to enhance search and discovery within academic library collections. However, patrons may not immediately see its unique benefits over other AI tools or even standard Primo searches. Here are some key use cases that might help clarify its advantages: 1. Natural Language Searching * Use Case: A student unsure about the best keywords for a topic can type a full question (e.g., "What are the impacts of climate change on coral reefs?"). * Advantage: Primo RA interprets the question and generates a structured query, reducing the need for Boolean logic. 2. Multilingual Searching * Use Case: An international student whose primary language is not English can search in their native language (e.g., Chinese, Spanish) and receive results with summaries in their preferred language. * Advantage: This bridges language barriers and improves access to academic materials. 3. Quick Literature Overviews * Use Case: A researcher starting a new project wants a high-level summary of existing literature on "machine learning in healthcare." * Advantage: Primo RA provides an AI-generated summary based on library holdings, helping researchers grasp key themes before diving into individual papers. 4. Refining Search Queries for Better Results * Use Case: A graduate student receives too many irrelevant results when searching for "artificial intelligence and education." They ask Primo RA, "Can you narrow this to K-12 learning environments?" * Advantage: The AI helps refine the search dynamically, making it easier to find relevant materials. 5. Cross-Disciplinary Research Assistance * Use Case: A faculty member working on an interdisciplinary project (e.g., "AI and ethics in healthcare") wants to explore sources across multiple disciplines. * Advantage: Primo RA synthesizes insights from different subject areas, potentially surfacing connections that a standard search might miss. 6. Explaining Complex Topics in Simple Terms * Use Case: An undergraduate struggling with a concept (e.g., "What is quantum computing?") can ask Primo RA for an explanation. * Advantage: The AI provides a layman's summary, helping students grasp complex topics more easily. 7. Citation Exploration and Reference Assistance * Use Case: A researcher finds a key paper but wants to explore related works. * Advantage: Primo RA can suggest related sources, helping users discover relevant references efficiently.

SAIL, Poe, and a Long Lecture on How LLMs Actually Work
by Dejah T Rubel March 28, 2025

March 28, 2025

Hi everyone, I just wanted to share some resources that are helping me understand AI in a larger context. George Siemans writes an awesome newsletter<https://buttondown.com/SAIL/archive/sail-ai-products-america-still-winning-…> on Sensemaking, AI, and Learning (SAIL) you can subscribe to without having to create an account, etc. That's where I found this very long video<https://youtu.be/7xTGNNLPyMI?si=Tp_GDH4R3BFmxUOv> from Andrej Karpathy on how LLMs actually work. It's an excellent overview that doesn't involve any coding or math with nice visuals that explain complicated concepts. If you want to play around with various LLM models, create your own bots, etc. I recommend Poe.com. Yes, some of the cutting edge models are subscription-only, and the free version has a limited number of tokens per day, but it's a great site for non-technical people to explore what AI can do. And if you do need to work on something longer, you can continue a chat the next day, which is what I've been doing.

AI Topics to discuss (Ex Libris)
by Pate, Davin March 28, 2025

March 28, 2025

Hi Everyone, I hope this message finds everyone well. I wanted to start a discussion on Ex Libris AI and break this up into a few parts over the next few weeks, with us covering several topics before ELUNA. I thought about what topics we might want to discuss and what might be relayed to the different working groups/steering. Week One (March 31-April 6): Ex Libris/ProQuest/Clarivate AI Products - General Discussion. What have you liked about the AI platforms and initial Problems/Concerns that might be sent to the working groups? Week Two (April 7-April 13th: Ex Libris/ProQuest/Clarivate AI Products - Feature Development. Are there AI features you have seen from other products that you might like to see incorporated into one of the products Week Three (April 14th -April 21st): Ex Libris/ProQuest/Clarivate AI Products - Bugs/Issues. What ongoing bugs/issues have you encountered, and in what product? Week Four (April 22nd - April 29th): AI Focus of Clarivate and Clarivate-owned companies: Discuss the direction of Clarivates AI initiatives and the attention given to those initiatives, concerns, feedback, etc. May Weekly Focus (TBD) Some thoughts could be weekly discussions on specific products and interest in new AI initiatives from Clarivate (like Specto, Collecto/Rialto, or something entirely different ). Let me know what you think of the topical discussions if you have ideas for topics. Thanks again for joining the listserv. Davin Pate, M.L.S.

Welcome Again Everyone and a Topical Discussion on AI Licensing
by Pate, Davin Feb. 18, 2025

Feb. 18, 2025

Hello Everyone, Welcome again to this new listserv. As a note, we have had around 340 people sign up in the past week for the listserv. I encourage everyone to share AI-related topics within this listserv. We have not explicitly dealt with just Ex Libris AI discussions, so please feel free to discuss any AI-related topic. I thought that I would start a discussion on AI and Licensing, and I might revisit this topic periodically as the landscape changes. What terms or terminology have you seen in AI? Have you tried to include AI language in any licensing, and has it been successful? Any state requirements on AI? Have you found data mining terms to be sufficient instead of negotiating new clauses, or will you revisit older licenses to include AI-specific terms? So far, I have not seen any vendors specifically force AI language on new licenses, but I think this may change in the future. I have succeeded in limited cases of expanding data mining clauses to include data scraping for AI training. However, this has only occurred in a few licenses where the vendor has already allowed for data mining of the resource. Take care, and have a blessed week, Davin Pate, M.L.S.

Hello new listserv!
by Gaida, Julie Feb. 13, 2025

Feb. 13, 2025

Hi everyone, I'm wondering how everyone is using AI in their work, or have any interesting tools they use. Here are a couple of my go-tos: Goblin.tools : this is a really helpful tool for neurodivergent folks like me, and it has a lot of features including a "magic todo" list which helps to break down large tasks into smaller subtasks NotebookLM : this tool is nice because you can upload documents and get summaries in various formats, including an AI-generated podcast(!) I'd be interested in what other tools you use in your daily work life.

Interim Coordinator Proposal
by Pate, Davin Jan. 15, 2025

Jan. 15, 2025

Hello Everyone, I hope this message finds everyone well. I wanted to share a proposal to the listserv after a discussion with our Steering Liasion, I will begin setting up the group as Interim Coordinator, including informing the various working groups and gathering as much information on our charges/direction of the special interest group as possible. At ELUNA this year, I will set up an open meeting to select a permanent coordinator. This will give me time to see who might be interested in the role so I don't claim it by default. Please comment if you have any concerns or objections to this plan. If no one objects, I will begin work next week Sincerely, Davin Pate, M.L.S.

My previous e-mail to begin similar discussion noted the following: Items which do not require periodic changes, unless it gets unorganized and the collected are about specific software, companies and their evolutions (1) Shared space. Can we have a central location to house and organize all that we collect for explorations and discussions? I see potentials in collecting all the tools and expectations and our categorization of them. I also see potentials in listing out all our expectations and categories first prior to collecting tools, interests, reading materials, and others. Most important of all, I see that we normally have a shared drive or wiki for ELUNA and IGELU work groups and special interest groups--would IGELU or ELUNA be providing us with such resource? Work which require periodic updates and scheduled work (2) ExLibris-related. Do we have to think about ExLibris' well-being? I think we should work on identifying and evaluating ExLibris' AI-related products and services. (3) SIG-related. Should we conduct periodic surveys to determine ways to tailor make this group valuable accordingly? Would be happy to help understand and organize for such space and some outputs and outcomes related to the topic. Let me know when we want to begin when you get the chance.

Area One Formalize any leadership structure, including coordinator/co-coordinator and other roles. This would also lead to developing group bi-laws and other formalized documents as needed by steering. I am willing to take on the initial organization and formation, but others might also be interested in this role, so please step forward. Area Two I wanted to see what everyone thought about what areas of concern you have seen with Ex Libris/Clarivate Products. Area Three Do we wish to have a conversation regarding what our expectations are of Ex Libris/Clarivate in the development of the many AI-related tools. Area Four When we spot a problem, do we want to begin organizing a document of those concerns? Area Five Speaking of Steering, what are the general Steering Committee thoughts regarding the organization of this group, organization, and what we will be tasked with reviewing, overseeing, and communicating? As part of the organization process, should we have meetings organized quarterly or on a different time frame? Area Six After formation, should we attempt to obtain a liaison from Ex Libris? I had some success with Analytic Development once we had a dedicated Liasion, it may be be premature for this, but in the long run, having someone to advocate for the community directly with Ex Libris development would be beneficial. Feel free to add areas to this list, and if there are any other points to discuss. Thanks again, Davin Pate, M.L.S.
