[Eril-l] [EXT] Keeping on top of AI search options on major platforms

[Electronic Resources in Libraries discussion list]

Anita,

Thank you for sharing this. It is very helpful. I noticed Create+ from Lexis is not included. I wonder if any library has experience with that tool.

Ithaka has an Generative AI Product Tracker<https://sr.ithaka.org/our-work/generative-ai-product-tracker/>. Discovery tools like those offered by vendors are toward the bottom of the list.

Hi Melissa, I’m not 100% on which tools they have but I did pull together a list based on something on this listserv a while back (+ one we got a marketing update from) of platforms with AI, which might be a place to start? Proquest JSTOR EBSCO

Hi, all.

Our team here at UPEI is doing an internal analysis to decide if we want to enable the new EBSCO "AI Natural Language search" option in EDS.



That got me looking at our other platforms to see what options we have.

From what I can find:

Proquest's Research platform doesn't have one yet

Elsevier has them on Scopus and Sciencedirect but they cost extra (separately for each platform)

Wiley doesn't have one yet.



That's as far as I've got. We are looking at AI tools as an alternative to boolean search, not options to create AI summaries of the search results, which we frankly consider worse than useless in an educational context.



We are also looking at Consensus.app which so far seems to do this well on their own platform, but costs extra and wouldn't be integrated with EDS, our discovery platform.



Does anyone have a list of major academic publisher/aggregator platforms that have a free AI search option that may need to be deliberately enabled?



Thanks!
