Congratulations to Milne Library Research Instruction Librarians Max Sparkman and Alan Witt on their article publication in the journal Library Trends! Their article, "Claude AI and Literature Reviews: An Experiment in Utility and Ethical Use," scans the literature on the benefits and drawbacks of using LLMs in teaching and research. It compares and contrasts two literature reviews on the subject, one written by a human author and one produced by Claude (AI). Alan and Max's article can be viewed in KnightScholar.
