Libraries as AI Literacy Leaders

In this special issue we explore the role that libraries, librarians, and information professionals can play in advancing AI literacy in our workplaces and communities.  AI literacy is a broad term meant to encompass educating users about AI use, production, and evaluation; however, as we can see there is no commonly agreed upon definition as of yet.  The included literature reflects common similarities in the need to incorporate AI literacy into our ongoing work as librarians and educators, while also recognizing that libraries serving such a wide base of communities will need to lead literacy efforts that are uniquely tailored to the populations they serve.
