Organization and Conversation Starters
by Pate, Davin Dec. 12, 2024

Dec. 12, 2024

Hi Everyone, I am bouncing some conversation starters regarding the group and to see what direction the AI-SIG might take. 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.

Article IX: Special Interest Groups in the ELUNA Constitution and Bylaws

Hello All, SIGs are different from WGs (Working groups) and CoPs (Communities of Practice). They are more informal - see Article IX: Special Interest Groups in the ELUNA Constitution and Bylaws: https://documents.el-una.org/id/eprint/1564/1/ELUNA-Constitution-Bylaws-Rev… Thanks, Ryan Ryan Edwards, MIT, MLIS, & CASDL Tenured Systems Librarian/Associate Professor ASCCC OERI Liaison ZTC Degree Program Grant Faculty Coordinator ELUNA Steering Committee Rialto Liaison and Secretary West Los Angeles College Library and Learning Resources Division 9000 Overland Avenue Culver City, CA 90230 (310) 287-9020 edwardre(a)laccd.edu [cid:307c14fb-9c4a-48f7-85cc-521aff847139]

Zapier.com
by Edwards, Ryan E Nov. 21, 2024

Nov. 21, 2024

Hello All, Since our ai-sig listserv has been created, I figured that I would kick off the conversation. This week, I discovered a new cool tool, called Zapier (https://zapier.com/) which allows one to automate workflows. Zapier includes Microsoft Co-Pilot to help one create workflows and some workflow templates already exist. As the new Aha admin, I'm using Zapier to create a "zap", which retrieves the CSV file attachment in Gmail, which I'm sending of all the enhancements at 2am PST and it uploads and replaces the file as a Google spreadsheet on Google Drive. I'm then able to share the link to the Google spreadsheet in Aha. It is labeled "Export all enhancement requests (current as of 10am UTC)". We're using UTC as the Aha system is being used both ELUNA and IGeLU. Zapier.com seems like Microsoft's Power Automate (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/products/power-automate) as well as Ex Libris's new open workflows tool (n8n). Does anyone know of any other tools, which may be useful in automating processes, even with built-in AI?

Artificial Intelligence Special Interest Group -- the beginning (planning phase)
by Daisy Nip Nov. 21, 2024

Nov. 21, 2024

Hi Ryan and friends, Happy Thanksgiving~! Let's meet after the holidays! Questions I have: 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? There are some barriers to the items listed above, where we may find those whom we report to may find more comfort in each of us working on them internally, among ourselves at each of the institutions we belong to, since the topic is such a big, competitive trend. So, while I am open to all of the above and would like to do all three, how about item number (3)? Number (3) sounds like it should not be a problem.
