Abstract: The Instruction Committee is delighted to 
host AI in Action: Transforming Instruction in Academic Libraries. The 
advent of generative AI has led to questions about many aspects of 
instruction:  What are practical uses of AI in instruction? How do we 
instruct on the pitfalls of AI tools? What AI research tools are 
available and how do students at different levels interact with them? 
How do we connect AI and media literacy? How will AI change discovery 
and reference services? How do we balance AI tools and human 
instruction? Let’s gather to explore the evolving relationship between 
teaching and AI, and how to get the most use out of it with the least 
pain.
			 
			To address these issues, Baylor University’s Amy James, Online 
Librarian for Education and Information Literacy, and Ellen Hampton 
Filgo, Director of the Liaison Program, will present their experience 
compiling The AI and Library Instruction Cookbook (forthcoming).
			 
			The session is designed to leave space for conversation afterwards as
 we develop a community of practice: we are interested in hearing people
 share what they are inspired to do or thinking about trying with AI 
instruction, as well as discussing sticking points and hesitations. We 
hope to see you there!
