Librarian Leadership on the AI Frontier: Amplifying The Library’s AI Impact
Date: Thursday, November 6th, 2025
Time: 10:15-11:00am
Location: Grand Ballroom 3, Gaillard Center
Speakers:
Generative AI is rapidly reshaping the academic research journey. A recent survey of over 1,000 students and 300 librarians found that over half of students use AI tools like ChatGPT in their research, but just 8% received librarian support (Librarian Futures Report Part IV, 2025).
Despite this, students still overwhelmingly trust librarians, with over 50% reporting they would feel more confident using AI tools if their librarian recommended it. This reveals a clear opportunity for librarians to play a vital role in guiding the responsible use of AI and embed the library into emerging AI workflows to lead the frontier.
This panel will discuss findings from the Librarian Futures Report Part IV with university librarians and AI education advocate Dr. Leo S Lo. The speakers will share perspectives on student use of AI from their institutions, what skills academic librarians need to lead the AI frontier, and techniques to raise the profile of the library as indispensable guides in an increasingly AI-driven environment. Finally, the panel will discuss how librarians can lead on AI policy and procurement to ensure equitable access and ultimately foster student success.
We are pleased to announce that we are exhibiting at the Swiss Library Congress.

Title: The AI Opportunity: Why Students Want Librarians in Their Workflows
Date & Time: Tuesday, September 16, 2025 at 2:50–3:20pm CEST, Room 145
Speaker: Rob Moore, Development Manager, Technology from Sage
Generative AI is rapidly reshaping academic research. A 2025 survey of 1,000+ students and 300 librarians found over half of students use AI tools like ChatGPT, yet only 8% received librarian support (Librarian Futures Report Part IV). Still, over 50% said they’d feel more confident using AI if recommended by a librarian—highlighting a clear opportunity for librarians to lead in responsible AI use and embed the library into evolving research workflows.
In this session, we’ll explore the key findings from the report and share insights on student AI use, skills librarians need to lead the AI frontier, and strategies to position the library as an essential guide in an AI-driven environment. The session will also address how librarians can influence AI policy and procurement to ensure equitable access and support student success.
Title: Ensuring Discovery beyond the Library Catalogue: A Use Case from University of Leeds Libraries
Date & Time: Wednesday, September 17, 2025 at 11:15–11:45am CEST, Room 103
Speakers: Ceilan Hunter-Green, Metadata and Discovery Manager, University of Leeds and Rob Moore, Development Manager, Technology from Sage
A recent University of Leeds survey revealed that 79% of their students start their research on the library catalogue Primo. Juxtaposed with recent Technology from Sage research into undergraduate workflows which found that 63% search for resources on Google before visiting their library website, this raises important questions about how libraries can better understand and meet the diverse needs of their student communities.
In this session, discover how the University of Leeds Libraries have adopted an inside-out approach by leveraging Lean Library and targeted marketing—such as Primo banners, digital displays across study spaces, and outreach to customer-facing colleagues—to reach audiences. We’ll also share emerging global insights, including the growing role of ChatGPT and generative AI in research, and discuss how libraries can provide trusted resources, citation guidance, and AI support to ensure seamless and accessible research experiences for all.

The Connected Library: Elevating research with intuitive, seamless access
The quest by researchers to access relevant content is always a challenge. A recent OpenAthens’ report found that 31% of researchers don’t have access to all the content they need. In today’s digital age, how can we ensure researchers seamlessly discover the relevant resources at the right time and in the right place?
This session explores how library technology (specifically, resource access and workflow services tools) work together to make sure researchers have seamless access to the library’s collections and relevant resources, even when they begin their research outside of the library.
Attendees learn how academic libraries can ensure a smooth research journey for students and researchers, how to maximize usage of library collections, and how to bring the library discovery service into patron workflows, no matter where the user starts, ultimately, increasing student engagement and research outcomes.
