Introducing ChatGPT search
ChatGPT can now search the web in a much better way than before. You can get fast, timely answers with links to relevant web sources, which you would have previously needed to go to a search engine for. This blends the benefits of a natural language interface with the value of up-to-date sports scores, news, stock quotes, and more.
ChatGPT can help with planning your library research
ChatGPT can be a useful tool when it comes to deciding what your specific topic should be for a research paper. It’s not good for doing the actual searching because it makes up sources.
Exploring the Impact of Generative Artificial Intelligence on Higher Education Students' Utilization of Library Resources: A Critical Examination.
In the field of higher education, generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has become a revolutionary influence, shaping how students access and use library resources. This study explores the intricate balance of both positive and negative effects that GenAI might have on the academic library experience for higher education (HE) students. The key aspects of enhanced discovery and retrieval, personalization and engagement, streamlined research processes, and digital literacy and information evaluation potentially offered through using generative AI will be considered. These prospective advantages to HE students offered by using GenAI will be examined through will be examined through the theoretical framework of the Technological Acceptance Model (TAM) introduced by Davis et al. in 1986, which suggests that perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use are key factors in determining user acceptance and utilization of technology. The adoption of GenAI by higher education students will be analyzed from this viewpoint before assessing its impact on their use of library resources.

Are Academic Researchers Embracing or Resisting Generative AI? And How Should Publishers Respond?
Most people, but not all, would agree that the internet has benefitted research and researchers’ working lives. But can we be so sure about the role of new technologies today, and, most immediately, generative AI?

AI Research Tools
AI tools for research can help you to discover new sources for your literature review or research assignment. These tools will synthesize information from large databases of scholarly output with the aim of finding the most relevant articles and saving researchers' time. As with our research databases or any other search tool, however, it's important not to rely on one tool for all of your research, as you will risk missing important information on your topic of interest.
Research and Literature Review Tools

Artificial Intelligence: ChatGPT and Beyond: AI - Research Tools
Here a few AI tools set up help discover research articles. The tools listed should lead to research articles that exist unlike some AI tools that "hallucinate" - i.e. make up plausible looking citations to books and articles. Be sure to track down the full-text of a source before citing it in your ow work. (Students: Don't cite anything in a paper you are turning in unless you have read the full-text of the item you are citing.)
