Call for Contributions: Workshop on Integrating Large Language Models into Library and Information Science

Organizers: Yuan Li, Jiqun Liu, Andrew M. Cox, Shawon Sarkar, Lala Hajibayova

Overview. We are pleased to announce a call for contributions to the upcoming workshop on integrating Large Language Models (LLMs) into Library and Information Science (LIS). This half-day workshop aims to enhance the LIS community's engagement with LLMs such as ChatGPT, LLaMA, BERT, and other advanced AI technologies. The workshop seeks to foster collaboration among researchers, practitioners, educators, and students, and to develop evidence-based strategies for integrating LLMs into LIS research, practice, and education.

Workshop Themes. The workshop will focus on the three thematic areas: (a) LLMs in LIS research, (b) LLMs in LIS practice, and (c) LLMs in LIS education. All relevant topics are welcome.
