 \n\n\nDescription\n\nWith the growing prevalence of generative artificial 
 intelligence (AI)\, students are beginning to utilize AI as tools in their 
 classes and personal lives. The corresponding university response often 
 assumes student understanding of the tools. In contrast\, library staff at 
 UCLS put together a team to understand student perceptions\, given the 
 varying student experiences with technological inequalities\, access to 
 resources around AI\, and cultural backgrounds and perspectives surrounding 
 technology. This presentation\, originally presented at ALA 2024\, will 
 describe the development of resources to assist student knowledge and use 
 of AI\, based on gathered date. The team is co-led by two librarians\, and 
 consists of full-time library staff\, instructional developmental staff\, 
 and student library workers. The team collaborate s on a suite of projects 
 that include: gathering and analyzing data about current use of AI on 
 campus via a pop-up survey\; an IRB survey\; an interactive tutorial on the 
 ethical use of AI in coursework\; an AI tools resource guide\; an 
 external\, campus workshop addressing algorithmic bias and bias in AI\; and 
 an internal\, library workshop on AI in library instruction.\n\nThis 
 hour-long presentation will cover the process of guiding what began as an 
 ad-hoc interest group into a large-scale\, multi-faceted team\; the project 
 component\, lessons learned\, and will touch on how the project outputs 
 address diverse student perceptions and need surrounding generative AI. 
 Attendees will leave with insight into student perception and ideas on how 
 to address conversations and students needs surrounding AI at their 
 institutions.\n\n\n\nLearning Outcomes\n\nBy the end of this webinar\, 
 attendees will:\n\n\n	Identify approaches for creating student focused 
 resources on AI\n	Learn strategies for gathering student and staff feedback 
 on AI\n	Gain insight into student perceptions and needs surrounding 
 AI\n	Learn strategies for coordinating large\, multi-team 
 projects\n\n\n\n\nWho Should Attend\n\nThe target audience is people 
 interested in college student needs and perceptions of artificial 
 intelligence\, people creating campus resources for students and staff\, 
 and people interested in coordinating large\, ad-hoc project teams. For 
 people interested in implementing similar initiatives at their 
 institutions\, the presenters will share the project development process\, 
 multiple types of resources and outreach/engagement methods\, and discuss 
 data gathered from students.\n\nPresenters\n\nRenee Bowen\, Former UCLA 
 Sciences Librarian\n\nShelby Hallman\, Physical Science and Engineering 
 Librarian\, UCLA Library\n\nHannah Sutherland\, Open Science & Collections 
 Librarian\, UCLA Library\n\n\n\nAccessibility Information\n\nIf you have
