Generative AI (ChatGPT) for Faculty

How can we help?

Your MVCC Library faculty colleagues can help you work with AI in your classroom, from simply having a philosophical teaching discussion about the use of AI, to helping you develop research assignments that can leverage the use of AI as a creative or evaluative tool or helping you developing research assignments that discourage student use of AI in favor of the use of their own voices.

Here's what ChatGPT offers in the way of ideas for how we can work together. It's accurate! (Please find an accessible Word document transcript of this chat linked below.)

AI is part of librarian practice

Library work is not, and has never been, about a specific set of skills or tools - it is a way of thinking about and understanding information. Libraries and Librarians are often some of the earliest adopters, and embracers, of technological innovation and disruption. Far from "competing" with emerging technology and disruption, it becomes a part of our practice, not as a "survival" response, but as an intrinsic feature of our field. Libraries are, at their core, subversive institutions. We are information professionals who believe 100% in freedom of access to information. Ensuring and fighting for access to information always includes meeting people precisely where they exist within the context of our social, political, cultural, technological, economic, and natural environments. Artificial intelligence is information, and a part of our practice.
