AI in practice: trends in hospital and clinic libraries

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has introduced new possibilities for hospital and clinic libraries. A research project surveyed hospital and clinic librarians regarding AI use in their libraries. AI tools are being used for cataloging, retrieving information, conducting systematic reviews, and answering research questions. Limitations such as hallucinations affect the value of AI for library research. Librarians' understanding of these tools is crucial to maximizing the benefits of AI while maintaining professional and ethical standards. This study examined AI usage in hospital and clinical libraries while acknowledging several limitations that affect the interpretation and generalizability of the findings.
