    An analysis of poet demographic and thematic diversity in a poetry collection for inclusive AI
    Information Research: An International Electronic Journal,
    AI technologies, such as theme classification and named entity recognition, enhance digital library accessibility. However, they may introduce biases if training datasets lack adequate representation. For instance, prior AI models for poetry classification overlooked dataset diversity, raising concerns about representation. To address this issue, this study assesses the dataset representation and examines potential issues in AI model design for poetry collections.

    Technology education in academic libraries: An analysis of library workshops
    The Journal of Academic Librarianship
    The goal of this study is to present an overview of academic library instruction for technology education for their communities. This study examines library workshops offered by 43 four-year college libraries in the US. The titles and descriptions of the workshops were manually collected and analyzed to understand the content of library instruction using both quantitative and qualitative analysis methods. The findings of this study suggest that American academic libraries play an important role in educating their patrons a wide range of technology for their academic success in technology-mediated learning and research environments. They teach various technologies for research, teaching and learning, career support, conventional library instruction, and many other purposes. We found that academic libraries teach not only popular and common tools, but also specialized and unique tools for certain fields.
