I just read Dr. Azeez Adeoye’s reflection on the AULNU–NULIB workshop, concluded yesterday in Abuja, and it’s exactly the kind of feedback every trainer hopes for.
As someone who spent the past two days at the CVCNU Secretariat sharing ideas about Smart Libraries, the Bibliomentor and AI Reference Librarian Concepts, I was curious to learn about how the sessions I delivered resonated with participants. Dr. Azeez’s perspective exceeded my expectations.
What struck me most was how carefully captured both the content and the conversation experience we had. We treated technical aspects of AI applications, moved on to ethics, plagiarism detection, privacy concerns, research integrity, and so much more.
His version of the whole workshop experience captures clearly what I was trying to convey: Nigerian academic libraries can’t be passive observers in the AI revolution. As ‘Guardians of Knowledge’, we need intentional action.
