Free Online Conferences:

June 27, 2024, 12:00 - 2:30 pm PT, Teaching and Learning with AI<https://www.learningrevolution.com/teaching-and-learning-with-ai> (Learning Revolution)

While AI technologies have many dramatic benefits, there are also challenges and concerns expressed by professionals, students, and educators about the impact of these new technologies on teaching and learning and the information ecosystem as a whole. Some are reasonably concerned about protecting privacy and confidentiality of students while using generative AI tools and ensuring equity and accessibility. Others worry about ethics, plagiarism, bias, misinformation, transparency, and the loss of critical thinking. And all in the learning professions are wondering how AI might allow or require changes in pedagogy and curricula.

Upcoming live PCI Webinars:

Each Wednesday from 11a - 12p PT, explore new, relevant topics during a live webinar from People Connect Institute.

July 10, 12:00 - 1:00 pm PT, Why do we fall for misinformation?<https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/why-do-we-fall-for-misinformation.html?>

>From falling for cheap fakes to trusting the credibility of AI-generated references, we can all be vulnerable to online misinformation. In this webinar, learn about several research-based strategies that can supplement and expand on your existing information literacy approaches with patrons. Researchers from the University of Washington's Center for an Informed Public will unpack how online information environments influence what we see and believe online. Come explore opportunities to increase capacity for public library staff and community members to address and navigate problematic information.

Presented by: Jevin West and Chris Coward, Co-Founders, Center for an Informed Public at the University of Washington Information School; and Kate Lapinski, Chicago Public Library

July 17, 12:00 - 1:00 pm PT, Cultural humility in library work<https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/cultural-humility-in-library-work.html>

Cultural humility offers a renewing and transformative framework for navigating interpersonal interactions in libraries, whether between patrons and staff or staff members with one another. But what is cultural humility, and what does it look like in practice? Join the editors of Hopeful visions, practical actions: Cultural humility in library work, (ALA Editions 2023) as they define and explore the concept of cultural humility, its strengths and limitations, and strategies for applying more inclusive practices to library customer service, policies, and collection development.

Presented by: David A. Hurley, University Libraries, University of New Mexico; Sarah R. Kostelecky, Library of Congress; and Lori Townsend, University Libraries, University of New Mexico.
