To register for this webinar please follow this link: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/7516997282830/WN_XhtXJ32vSnq4qCfkfMmA8w. Sessions are free and available only to members of the Michigan library community. Registrants will receive instructions and a link to attend the session directly from PCI after they register.

The future is here - learn how artificial intelligence is transforming libraries! Join our insightful webinar to discover how leading libraries leverage AI to improve programs, empower patrons, streamline operations, and offer cutting-edge services.

We’ll explore real-world examples and demo the latest AI applications for tasks like research, readers’ advisory, marketing, data analysis and routine writing. Take advantage of this opportunity to prepare your library for an AI-enabled future.

As a result of this program, participants will be able to:

• Share actionable strategies to implement AI in ways that augment (rather than replace) human expertise.
• Understand how libraries big and small can make the most of AI to create more valuable, personalized experiences for patrons and new efficiencies for staff.

New webinars will be in the New category for several weeks. You do not need to register for a webinar in order to view it later in the Staff Skills Academy.
