How to Use Library Database AI

By leveraging AI in our library databases, you get the ease of researching using prompts, but with results based on trusted, scholarly sources instead of random websites. It's the best of both worlds! 

There are some differences in what AI features are available in each database, but in general the AI features can:

• Help with brainstorming your questions or prompts.
• Provide summaries and key takeaways of books and articles. 
• Get direct links to sources that answer your research question. 
• Chat with AI, asking questions to get a better understating of your topic
• Find more sources that are likely to support your topic.
• Save your question or prompt so you an access it again.

You can learn how to use our AI enabled databases step by step using the menu to the side, or get started on your own with the databases listed below.
