[OYAN] AI-generated art in children's books

[BERGQUIST Greta * SLO]

Hi all,

Happy Monday!  I got a question about cataloguing picture books that use AI-generated art and wanted to send it out to all of you - are you adding to the MARC record that there is AI generated art in the item? Or if any part of it has been generated by AI? What's your process?

There's not a lot of information about this topic available yet, the best piece I've seen on it so far is from a Canadian school librarian<https://journal.canadianschoollibraries.ca/there-are-imposters-among-us-investigating-ai-generated-picture-books-in-the-library/> - please tell us how you all are handling this! If you email me directly, I can compile responses and share out at the end of the week.

Thanks so much!


Best,
Greta
