Abstract
Generative AI Tools are emerging and evolving at lightning speed. Many librarians are now compelled or expected to have a baseline knowledge of how these tools work and receive requests for advice on which tools to use in specific contexts. A thorough understanding of the possibilities, risks, and limitations of these tools will allow librarians and researchers to make informed decisions about when and how to ethically and appropriately use and/or endorse these tools.

Activity and Methods
This workshop will allow participants to critically approach multiple tools and methods of use. Presenters will introduce strategies for effective prompt design and participants will be given the opportunity to apply and adapt the strategies to the selected tools, such as ChatGPT and Elicit. Through exploring and testing these strategies, participants will build their confidence in approaching and develop a stronger understanding of effective uses for GenAI, as well as inappropriate applications for AI use.

Goals and Objectives
The goal of this workshop is to gather a baseline critical understanding when approaching GenAI tools with academic integrity, learning the basics of prompt design/engineering, and applying the knowledge and critical analysis to potential cases in which you may use or recommend the tools as librarians. Additional topics covered include Copyright, Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs), licensing considerations, and other risks.
