Application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Academic Research and Library Services
Sylvester Ebhonu: Resource Person at LISCON Webinar 2024
As I sit down in this busy restaurant (8:45pm on Monday) with my laptop to prompt ChatGPT to assist me with writing this blog post, I canโt help but reflect on the paths that have led me to this moment. This weekend, Saturday 18th of May2024, marks not just another day on the calendar, but a significant milestone in my professional journey. I am both honored and excited to announce that I will be a facilitator at the prestigious LISCON Webinar, where I will lead a practical session on the Application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Academic Research and Library Services.

THE FUTURE OF LIBRARIES DEPENDS GREATLY ON THE CAPACITY OF LIBRARY AND INFORMATION PROFESSIONALS
THE FUTURE OF LIBRARIES DEPENDS GREATLY ON THE CAPACITY OF LIBRARY AND INFORMATION PROFESSIONALS – SI Ebhonu
There are many things I wish one day we would never have to hear again amongst Library and Information Professionals. For example:
‘๐ฐ ๐๐ ๐ ๐ณ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐ ๐ฐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ณ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ด๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐บ๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐ฐ ๐ ๐๐’๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐…’
These sentiments reflects the challenges some Librarians face – complexities of technology and inadequate.
But,

AN OVERVIEW OF THE L.A.M.E INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP
