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

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.

CARL is excited to partner with RingCentral to host the virtual event and member institutions to host in-person watch parties (locations TBD).
