Summary:
Increasingly, academic work is happening inside AI chat platforms. For libraries, this is likely a structural change. When AI tools mediate how people find and use information, library resources risk being bypassed. The collections universities invest in, the services librarians have built, and the library’s role as a trusted layer of knowledge can quietly slip out of view.
Join this session to find out how libraries can responsibly plug themselves into the AI chat environments their users are already in – and the strategic choices that come with doing so. We’ll explore practical approaches available today, from browser-level tools that follow users across AI platforms, to institutional connectors that integrate library systems directly into AI environments, drawing on early experience from academic library partners.
What you’ll learn:
- How new standards open a direct line between AI chat agents and library systems
- What’s possible today across discovery, library services, and research workflows inside the chat
- What early adopters of Clarivate Nexus are seeing in practice – what’s working, where the challenges are, and what to plan for
