AIMLComm: A Community of Practice for AI and Machine Learning in Libraries

AIMLComm is a new Community of Practice established by the Ontario Council of University Libraries (OCUL) to facilitate the exchange of ideas and advances by library staff regarding AI and machine learning in Canadian academic libraries.

The Community includes discussions (channels) for a wide variety of interests including technical issues, use cases, user implications, ethical considerations, policy concerns, and any other relevant issue participants wish to discuss.

It is important to note that this Community is for all those interested in this area. It expected that the Community will attract and engage people with a wide and diverse set of interests. It is not just a technical forum.

AIMLComm will assist in building capacity within Canadian research libraries to better understand and respond to the challenges and opportunities of this technology.

The Community will be shepherded by moderators and governed by a code of conduct that models acceptable behaviour on the site. AIMLComm uses the Mattermost platform hosted by Scholars Portal.

If you are interested in participating in this Community of Practice, please complete the following form and you will be enrolled in the Community by a member of the coordinating group.
