Libraries offers tools and trainings to help with AI literacy

Clemson Libraries has expanded its tools and trainings to help students, faculty and staff learn how to use AI ethically and responsibly to assist with research.

In addition to Canvas courses on AI literacy and AI ethics, the Libraries has several online guides to help users explore AI-related topics at their own pace. All of these guides and trainings can be found on the Libraries’ AI Tools and Literacy website:

  • Navigate AI at Clemson — a one-stop shop to find policy, enterprise tools, library tools, accessibility information and basic vocabulary.
  • Understand Generative AI — learn about how generative AI works, its strengths and limitations, prompting techniques and what needs to be double-checked by a human.
  • Choose What and How to Share with AI — dive deeper into AI policy, approved and enterprise tools and more opportunities for engagement with AI.
  • 10 Step AI Challenge — get some experience using a variety of AI tools to assist with research-related tasks.

The Libraries will also continue to host online and in-person workshops on topics such as:

  • Understanding AI for finding reliable information
  • Using and applying AI for finding reliable information
  • Analyzing and evaluating AI for finding reliable information
  • Using ChatGPT EDU to locate reliable information
  • AI for productivity.

The Libraries is also hiring two graduate students who can assist with peer-to-peer instruction on the use of AI. More information on this new resources will be available soon.

Librarians are also available to speak to classes about AI-related topics on request. Contact AI literacy coordinator Anne Grant (anne1@nullclemson.edu) for more information.
