(May 26, 2026). Mark your calendars to attend the annual Executive Perspectives panel organized and hosted by Marshall Breeding, independent consultant and creator of Library Technology Guides. The discussion will center on the theme: Putting AI to work in Library Services: Positive and Negative Consequences and will cover topics such as what's lost and what's gained as AI brings higher levels of automation and becomes a component in library services. Are Libraries losing control of their processes and the quality of their services? We will learn about interesting new capabilities being developed to improve library services, tools to describe and provide access to collections at a scale beyond manual processes, and methods of discovery reshaped by expectations for answers to research questions and not lists of results.
