Library Champions
Forthcoming projects
Support the development of AI resources
Be a part of shaping the future of AI learning at our university. The Centre for Academic Achievement is supporting the university’s new AI policy by creating resources to help students develop their AI literacy. Help review these resources, share your thoughts and suggest improvements. Your feedback will directly influence the AI Student Literacy project and help us create better tools for future students.
Enhancing access to Special Collections with AI
Discover how AI is transforming access to our Special Collections. In this project, we’re testing two AI tools, Transkribus and Claude, to automatically transcribe historic manuscripts from our collections. If these tools prove effective, their transcriptions will be added to Special Collections Online, making our rare and valuable resources easier to search, explore, and use.
Addressing sensitive content in library collections
Make a meaningful impact by reviewing how the library handles materials with harmful or offensive language or content. Provide feedback and help create materials to raise awareness about such content and the library's response strategies. Your contributions could also be featured in conference presentations, allowing you to share insights with the academic community.
Developing LinkedIn content for Research Services
Help us expand our reach by sharing our work with a wider audience. Team up with the Library Research Services group to create dynamic and engaging content for the Research Services LinkedIn page. This is your chance to enhance our online presence and highlight the exciting projects happening within our team.
This a fantastic scheme to help build and develop your skills. It's wonderful to work with students from different courses and the librarian is friendly, patient and supportive.
I've had so much fun being creative and meeting new people across the university and on different courses. It's something different that is not only helpful as I've learned about the library services on offer, but also great fun.
Being a Library Champion was brilliant, as it helped me learn more about the library and I was able to impact how library resources are displayed and distributed to students. I discovered new resources and had to opportunity to help others learn about them as well.
