Librarians at the Forefront: Centering Human Intelligence in an AI Future

CARL invites vendor and publisher partners to sponsor our 2026 virtual conference.

The conference will explore the evolving role of librarians as AI is integrated into research, data management, and library services. Presentations will emphasize balancing emerging technology with human expertise, critical thinking, ethics, and information literacy instruction. Focus will be on AI’s impact on classroom instruction, recognizing that many CARL members work closely with faculty or teach classes.

Approximately 200 academic librarians attend the biennial conference. Attendees represent institutions across California, though with a higher concentration from southern California, and are generally early and mid-career librarians with roles in public services and instruction.

The virtual event will be held on Zoom. Santa Clara University, CSU Bakersfield, and Long Beach Community College will host in-person watch parties.
