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.

Photos of Books on shelves authored by SUNY Geneseo faculty, staff, students, and community members

During the month of May, Milne Library will be celebrating Geneseo authors in the following ways:

Faculty works which were published between fall of 2023 and early spring of 2025 will be on display as a slideshow on Milne’s digital signs. The complete list of faculty works for that period are available in the 2024/2025 program.

The Library is growing the circulating Geneseo Authors Hall collection which is shelved on the main level of Milne Library, near the Service Desk. The collection includes works authored or edited by SUNY Geneseo faculty, staff, and alumni. Copies of works are also archived in the College Archives and can be browsed digitally.

Geneseo authors will also be receiving a small gift to acknowledge their accomplishments.

Milne Library is eager to celebrate Geneseo Authors in the fall of this year as part of the annual Geneseo Authors Celebration! Keep a lookout for the fall 2025 celebration date!
