AI Student Workshop Series

Practical & Responsible Use of AI 

This inaugural GenAI student workshop series is a collaborative project presented by the Instructional Resource Center, Writing and Communication Center, and Archer Library. 

In this series of workshops, students will learn about the benefits and pitfalls of employing generative AI, or GenAI. While GenAI can be a great tool, it is critical to have a foundational understanding of the topic to be discussed in order ensure the information provided by the generators is indeed accurate and pertinent to your project. 

Finally, this workshop will further your understanding of Ashland University’s official policy on the use of AI and will offer insights from a professor that both employs AI and lectures about the practical and appropriate employment of AI on assignments and projects. 

Registration is Open!

Library Catalog • Additional Information

Using the OhioLINK Classic Catalog

Here are a few tips for successfully using the Advanced Search option OhioLINK Classic catalog to conduct a search for Archer Library Resources. After choosing OhioLINK Classic Catalog, select Advanced search, located directly below the keyword search bar.

Enter your search term and LIMIT the search by LOCATION to Ashland University. It is one of the top entries in the location drop-down menu. Submit your search.

Search results will then be limited to items in Archer Library's collection.  If we do not have the item, remove the location limit and return to the main OL catalog. As always, you are able to request items from OhioLINK. 

If you need help renewing a book, please contact the circulation desk at 419-289-5400. They will be able to check your record and renew titles as needed.

We appreciate your continued patience as we work to resolve this problem.
