Hi all,

I'm curious how folks are handling AI integrations in databases such as EBSCO, JSTOR, etc. How do you evaluate these tools, and how do you decide whether or not to enable them (when that choice exists)? If your library has developed a framework or rubric you'd be willing to share, I'd love to see it!

Thanks!
Katherine
