About the Event
Barton Peveril has been a forerunner and an outlier in the development of AI in a College context with a range of staff and student “agents” now in operation. In this webinar, Chris Loveday (Vice Principal – Business Services) and Adam Say (Library Manager) will talk through the broader picture of the AI options available at the College for students and staff (including student digital assistant, staff timesaving options and a bespoke large language model) and look in more detail at the roll out of a Library-specific AI and the challenges and engagements that this involved.

Feedback
The UKSG webinars are great for me – they offer a wide range of topics and are very well prepared. I never experienced any technical difficulties. Due to the austerity measures brought by the recent worldwide events the training budget in my institution was frozen, so the fact that UKSG webinars are free is really a boon too!

The UKSG webinar was fantastic – well-organized, timely, accessible, and with an array of presenters that had insight into the topic

Great to squeeze in so much useful knowledge and information without having to go out to a conference. I could enjoy taking it in with a sandwich at my desk! I felt very empowered afterwards.
