[Eril-l] AI is reshaping research—are you ready?

[Electronic Resources in Libraries discussion list]

**Apologies for cross posting**

AI is already influencing how research is written, reviewed, and
disseminated. As capabilities evolve, institutions and organizations have
some big decisions to make: Which tools does it make sense to adopt? How do
you guide researchers in the responsible use of AI? And how do you make
sure policy keeps up with the pace of change? NISO's eight-week course, AI
Essentials: From Tools to Strategy
<https://niso.org/events/ai-essentials-tools-strategy-2025-niso-training-series>
, happening on Thursdays from October 9 through December 4, will help
professionals address these critical questions.

NISO TRAINING SERIES | DISCOUNTS FOR NISO MEMBERS AND GROUPS

AI Essentials: From Tools to Strategy
<https://niso.org/events/ai-essentials-tools-strategy-2025-niso-training-series>

Thursdays, 11:00 am–12:30 pm EDT (US/Canada)

October 9–December 4, 2025 (no class on November 27 in observance of the US
Thanksgiving holiday)

Each session in AI Essentials offers practical insights, strategic framing,
and room for discussion of what scholarly organizations should be thinking
about now. Whether you and your organization are assessing tools, drafting
new policies, or supporting researchers and staff, the series will provide
context and examples to move forward with insight and confidence.

Over eight weeks, the program covers a wide range of timely topics:

   -

   AI’s current role in scholarly publishing and the tools reshaping the
   field
   -

   Research integrity, copyright, and licensing
   -

   The growing use of AI in core workflows like metadata enrichment and
   peer review
   -

   Supporting researchers through training and consultation models
   -

   Aligning AI efforts with organizational values and planning for
   long-term adoption
   -

   Strategy-building and mapping out actionable next steps


The series is facilitated by Cynthia Hudson-Vitale, a nationally recognized
leader in research infrastructure and emerging technologies and current
Associate Dean of Technology Strategy and Digital Services for John Hopkins
University Libraries. She brings deep expertise in data policy and
organizational change, helping institutions approach AI with clarity,
integrity, and strategic alignment.
