Health Sciences Library Leans Into Artificial Intelligence

The Health Sciences Library is integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into its services and workshops, and now offers a range of workshops, each focusing on different aspects of Generative AI (GenAI) and its applications in various fields.One of the workshops, "Exploring How GenAI Fits into Your Work," is an interactive in-person event that provides an overview of popular Generative AI (GenAI) tools. Through small group discussions, participants will explore the application of these tools in their professional work, share ideas, discover new possibilities, and address any questions or concerns they may have.HSL RDAS Team: David Martin, Brenna Kent, Andrea DentonAnother workshop, "Intro to GenAI and Coding," focuses on how GenAI can aid in data analysis tasks. The workshop is divided into two parts: the first half offers practical tips for using GenAI in coding, and the second half features a live demonstration of Copilot Chat for debugging R scripts. Participants receive prompts to follow along and practice during the session. This workshop is designed to provide practical skills and insights applicable to data analysis, accommodating both beginners in GenAI and R programming.The workshop "Intro to GenAI and Literature Searching" is dedicated to exploring how GenAI can enhance scholarly literature searches. It covers the strengths and limitations of common GenAI tools, specifically those designed to find citations. Additionally, the workshop reviews tasks for which GenAI tools are appropriate or inappropriate in the literature search process. Included is a discussion about other AI approaches, such as machine learning, and how they are incorporated into tools like Covidence for systematic reviews, assisting with the literature review process.The "Intro to GenAI and Prompting" workshop is designed to help participants discover how to utilize UVA licensed GenAI tools in their work. In this workshop, participants delve into the basics of GenAI and best practices, then explore the art of prompt engineering. They leave with a solid understanding of GenAI concepts and practical guidance on crafting effective prompts, using Copilot Chat to demonstrate real-world applications.Visit the library's events page to see availability of these workshops or contact the library for a customized session for your department....
