[IRTalk] Digital Scholarship Has Released the Artificial Intelligence and Libraries Bibliography

[Digital Scholarship]

The Artificial Intelligence and Libraries Bibliography
includes over 125 selected English-language articles and
books that are useful in understanding how libraries are
exploring and adopting modern artificial
intelligence (AI) technologies. It covers works from January
2018 through August 2023. It includes a Google Translate
link. The bibliography is available as a website and a
website PDF with live links.

Libraries have been exploring AI technology for a long time.
In particular, there was an active period of experimentation
from the mid-1980s through the mid-1990s that primarily
focused on the use of expert systems. Many
projects used expert system shells, which simplified
development; however, some projects also used AI languages,
such as Prolog. This period produced a significant number of
library-related AI papers.

Subsequently, library interest in AI diminished until around
2018, when research activity increased.

The public release of generative AI systems in late 2022,
such as ChatGPT, sparked a strong upsurge of interest in
them and a rush to utilize their capabilities. Since these
systems are relatively easy to use, this
development may result in a significant new wave of
library-oriented AI activity.
