ChatGPT, an AI-powered large language model (LLM), offers a powerful tool that can help improve library services and enhance the user experience. In this webinar, we will highlight real-world examples of how librarians can use ChatGPT to provide effective reference services, answer common questions, and assist patrons with research.
