Conference Agenda (All times are shown in Eastern Daylight Time)

This interactive workshop maps current information science research of AI in the public sector context (e.g.,the fire service, law enforcement, public health, local government). Join researchers and public-sector professionals to explore frameworks, share ongoing work, and build connections across the ASIS&T community.

The 25th Annual SIG-USE Research Symposium explores the intersection of user-centered information behavior and human-AI. It provides a platform for researchers, students, and professionals to discuss AI's impact on users' information needs and behaviors. The symposium welcomes both conceptual and empirical submissions, and it is open to all ASIS&T and non-ASIS&T members.

This workshop is designed to enhance the knowledge and applications of ChatGPT in research, teaching, and service from a faculty perspective. We seek to offer direct application of best practices in two key areas of concern: 1) A prompt literacy to interact with ChatGPT in more sophisticated ways and 2) hand-on exercises to apply ChatGPT for practical tasks. In the prompt literacy session, we will provide foundational knowledge on prompting for more efficient usage of ChatGPT in research, teaching, and service by identifying specific prompt patterns and examples. The hand-on exercise will improve understanding of using ChatGPT in higher education contexts by providing opportunities to apply and utilize this tool in participants’ contexts.

Join our half-day workshop to discuss OA discovery challenges, learn from information-seeking studies on OA, and collaborate in breakout groups to design effective signals and awareness strategies that help users—inside and outside academia—better access, use and trust open access resources.
