it, its user interface is designed to ensure seamless interaction for users of all levels. Many may think it is a new Google-like search engine where you get information from the internet. This is only half correct. Generative AI goes a step further – it creates.<br>
<br>
Borui Zhang will introduce you to the concept of generative AI and show you how you can adapt ChatGPT as your personalized assistant for planning activities, learning new skills, and drafting text-based communication. Borui will compare ChatGPT with traditional

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">This session is part of the Bridging the Digital Divide: Telehealth and Libraries Webinar Series. Despite its promise, telehealth has become a “double-edged sword”: the
technology with potential to reduce health inequities by increasing access to healthcare also holds the capacity to exacerbate structural inequities. Specifically, in order to achieve more equitable telehealth, leaders in health care and communities must address
a person's: (1) digital fluency, the ability to use digital tools efficiently and effectively, and (2) the capacity for health advocacy or a person's ability to advocate for their own health needs. Community leaders have the capacity to work towards solving
these divides.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The ease with which misinformation can be created and spread online endangers everyday discourse—and libraries are uniquely suited to help counteract its negative effects.
Using research developed at University of Washington, Google has created a new set of tools for evaluating material found online, making it easier to think critically about the veracity of digital information right at the point of search. In this interactive
presentation, library consultant Toby Greenwalt will demonstrate the capabilities of Super Searchers and showcase potential applications in the library workspace.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Public library directors fill a unique role in their organizations as leaders in both policy and culture. Whether it is a single building rural library to a multi-location
big city system, all library directors face a series of similar problems as they strive to keep operations going. Between budgets, politics, policies, and staffing, no two days are the same. In this on-demand panel discussion, experienced directors will share
their stories about why they chose this career path, its challenges, and their thoughts on the future of the profession. If you are interested in becoming a director, are already a director looking for some tips, or simply want to learn more about the role,
this is the panel discussion for you. Originally presented May 18, 2021.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#222222">Program coordinators, department heads, and other supervisors are the leadership of public libraries on the front lines, but they don't
always have a seat at the table when administrators talk about change within the library. Hear from public librarians representing libraries of varying sizes, geographic regions, and diverse populations who have affected change from their positions in middle
management through effective communications, advocacy, and storytelling. Originally presented June 1, 2021.</span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The history of public libraries is deeply rooted in white supremacy, and white cultural norms still dominate management practices in public libraries today. In order
to create more inclusive workplace cultures in public libraries, new norms must be established by creating decision-making processes and modes of communication that honor the cultural norms of BIPOC staff members.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">As libraries emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic with an increased awareness of racial inequities in the communities we serve, the time has also come to look inward at
the ways our own management systems and structures perpetuate inequities among those who work in public libraries. By dismantling and re-weaving organizational culture norms to decenter whiteness, we can work together to create a better, more inclusive future.
This panel discussion provides background on white cultural norms in librarianship, illustrated by examples from the lived experience of the panelists, so you can develop a deeper understanding of the way that these norms marginalize, silence, and harm BIPOC
library staff members. Originally presented June 3, 2021.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
