Duke is also asking these same questions and would be interested in examples - we're currently evaluating the new Syllabus Assistant tool to see if we want to turn it on in production. (So just chiming in to say - yes, sharing resources would be welcome!)

I suspect many others have similar interests and may be working on related projects. Our goals/purposes are primarily to try and assess which tool(s) might be worth pursuing a paid subscription relative to others. If anyone has already developed something that might be useful for that purpose, would you be willing to share? If you know of rubrics or assessment tools that might be useful, that would be great as well. Thanks in advance for any information and suggestions. __ Glenn Bunton Data Visualization Librarian 803-777-2903 buntonga@mailbox.sc.edu<mailto:buntonga@mailbox.sc.edu> Digital Research Services University Libraries University of South Carolina 1322 Greene Street Columbia, SC 29208 [cid:f632ce4e-da02-4052-b602-a32e402909ce] ________________________________ From: Zhang, Hui <Hui.Zhang@oregonstate.edu> Sent: Tuesday, April 1, 2025 3:10 PM To: Pate, Davin <djp130330@utdallas.edu>; ai-sig@exlibrisusers.org <ai-sig@exlibrisusers.org> Subject: [Ai-sig] Re: Topic Discussion (Ex Libris/ProQuest/Clarivate AI Products) Hello, all: Thank you Davin for initiating this conversation! We at Oregon State University are investigating several AI tools, including Primo Research Assistant, Web of Science RA, and other vendors (Elicit, Scite). For Primo RA, we have: * Enabled it in a test view * Offered a public webinar on AI tools for libraries Initial feedback we have received: * What are the use cases for Primo RA? To patrons, it is unclear what are the benefits and advantages of using it over other AI tools or Primo. * IZ and NZ records are unavailable in Primo RA. * What patrons like is the multilingual feature. For example, you can search in Chinese, get English articles in the results, and the summary is in Chinese. That feature is missing in Primo, but is it available in NDE? I hope to track the information on a spreadsheet and provide it to the related working groups/steering. Maybe we can discuss the strategy as a group. ELUNA? I am planning to attend it, but only on the 19th and 20th.

Learn why this is important<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification__;...> [This email originated from outside of OSU. Use caution with links and attachments.] 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.
