Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to positively impact library and archives collections services—enhancing reference, instruction, metadata creation, recommendations, more. However, AI also ethical implications. This paper presents an extensive literature review analysis that examines projects implemented in settings, asking following research questions: RQ1: How is artificial being used libraries practice? RQ2: What concerns are identified addressed during implementation...
Librarians and archivists are often early adopters experimenters with new technologies. Our field is also interested in critically engaging technology, we well-positioned to be leaders the slow careful consideration of Therefore, as librarians have begun using artificial intelligence (AI) enhance library services, aim interrogate ethical issues that arise while AI collection description discovery streamline reference services teaching. The IMLS-funded Responsible Libraries Archives project...

Attempts have been made to detect and locate leakage using hydraulic transients; however, there has limited success under field-based conditions on operational systems. It is believed that this partly due fire hydrants, the most convenient access points, complicating signal generated received in Using transient simulator TSNet based method of characteristics (MOC), paper demonstrates hydrants can a significant impact signals characterizing filtering for hydrant lead more accurate leak...
