Hi all,
We don't have a policy specifically for library staff, but it is worth remembering that inputting data about students into a cloud based AI program is a possible FERPA violation and should be avoided.

Please remind me. When Internet search engines/indexes appeared on the scene, were here investigations and guidelines regarding the ethical use of such things? I'm not sure, but I think there were. "It should not be so easy to get the answers to your questions. People ought to read books and make the decisions for themselves". If there were such investigations and guidelines, then how did they ulimately manifest themselves? What sorts of conclusions were the result? Maybe that is when we -- the library profession -- shifted from bibliographic instruction mode to information literacy mode?

In short, what is old is new again?
