How Librarians Are Helping to Build the Connected, Global Scholarly Community: Future Developments in AI and OA
In the final episode of this four-part series, Barbie Keiser, information resources management (IRM) consultant and Reference and Instruction Librarian at Northern Virginia Community College, reflects on future developments in artificial intelligence and open access. First, she focuses on positive progress in AI by spotlighting tools that can assist with job interviews, video transcriptions, and enhancing libguides. Overall, Barbie supplies exciting, helpful, and small-scale AI projects in academia that go beyond chatbots like ChatGPT or Google’s Bard. Walking through the current OA landscape, she then highlights the complexity of green, gold, and diamond OA and advocates for simplifying the open publishing ecosystem. Further, she acknowledges that paywalled content will most likely be here to stay, though as government mandates and cross-organizational efforts take hold, the “future is open.”
