Why Your Library Needs a Real Plan for AI
It’s hard to check your email or walk through the campus lately without someone bringing up AI. We’ve moved past the initial shock of "What is ChatGPT?" and into a much trickier phase: trying to figure out how it actually fits into a university without things becoming unmanageable. The reality is that while some people are already using these tools every day, others are understandably hesitant. This gap creates a problem. If we don't have a shared understanding of how to use AI responsibly, we end up with a patchwork of rules that confuse students and leave staff feeling unsupported. Tuesday, April 14, 2 PM (GST), we’re hosting a free webinar to talk about a better way forward. titled: Applying a Framework for Institutional AI Literacy Development. What’s on the Agenda? Here’s what we’ll get into: The growing role of AI in higher education and its impact on teaching, research, and operations The importance of institutional AI literacy for responsible and effective AI adoption Overview of a proven AI literacy framework and how it can be applied in practice Strategies for developing AI guidelines, policies, and governance structures How to empower academic staff and researchers as AI collaborators and leaders Best practices for implementing a sustainable, institution-wide AI literacy strategy Enhancing innovation, accountability, and efficiency through structured AI adoption The goal is to make sure that when everyone uses AI in education, they’re doing it with a solid foundation of knowledge and accountability. Speaker Isaac Tabor Head of Digital Learning, Knowledge E As the Head of Digital Learning, Isaac provides expertise on best practices and current trends in digital learning and strategic oversight. He is chiefly responsible for the ongoing development of KnE Learn, a digital learning environment that works with a broad network of subject matter experts and Knowledge E’s experience in training delivery to provide targeted self-paced training to higher education institutions around the world. Isaac has ten years of professional experience in digital learning and education development initiatives in the secondary and higher education sectors of the UAE, USA, Cambodia, and other parts of South-East Asia. He holds a Master’s degree in History from the University of Edinburgh and a Master’s degree in Learning Design & Technology from the University of Maryland.Register for the free webinar here .wp-block-image img { max-width: 85% !important; margin-left: auto !important; margin-right: auto !important; }
Zendy AI Discovery: Trusted Research Partner for Libraries
At Zendy, we know that searching for academic content can feel overwhelming. Traditional search tools often rely on precise keywords, leaving you to sift through endless lists of results on your own. That’s why we built Zendy AI Discovery, to make research smarter, faster, and more guided. Launched in March 2026, our AI-powered discovery tool doesn’t just show you results, it understands your intent, provides context, and helps you explore topics in a structured way. Think of it as a research assistant that’s available anytime you need it. How We Help You Discover Research We designed Zendy AI Discovery to do more than just search. Here’s how we make your research experience better: Guided Exploration: We don’t just show results, we help you understand why they matter and guide you to the most relevant content. Context-Aware: Our AI considers the bigger picture of your topic, helping you uncover connections you might have missed. Time-Saving: By highlighting what’s important, we reduce the hours you spend scrolling through irrelevant articles. Built on your Academic Sources We know how important it is to rely on high-quality research. That’s why Zendy AI Discovery draws exclusively from your peer-reviewed and trusted sources. Unlike generic AI tools that pull from unverified sources, we make sure the information you find is reliable and trustworthy. How We Work with Libraries Here’s why it’s easy to integrate and use: Simple Setup: A few lines of script is all it takes to add us to your digital library. Publisher Agnostic: We work with multiple discovery providers and integrate seamlessly with tools like Libkey or SFX. Full Control: Library administrators can configure our AI’s tone, depth, and refinement strategies. Customizable Experience: Our interface can match your institution’s branding and design. What’s Next: Deep Research We’re not stopping here. Soon, we’ll launch Deep Research features, allowing students and researchers to go beyond article searches. Our goal is to reduce your “time to insight” and help you discover evidence-backed research directly on your library platform. .wp-block-image img { max-width: 85% !important; margin-left: auto !important; margin-right: auto !important; }
