The Artificial Intelligence Taskforce, in collaboration with the LIBER Working Groups, launched a four-part webinar series, LIBER AI Pulse, in spring 2026. The series will continue with two new sessions starting at the end of September.
The series provides 30-minute updates on current AI topics relevant to research libraries. These bite-sized webinars showcase ongoing work within LIBER and give voice to various perspectives on the topic. In the coming sessions, we will hear from LIBER Copyright & Legal Matters and Digital Scholarship and Digital Cultural Heritage Collections Working Groups.
Participation is subject to registration.
