GAIL 2025: AI on the Spot–A Pop-Up Approach to Collecting Student Feedback

How do our users really feel about generative AI? Join us and learn how to assess student AI usage and perceptions with three quick, interactive activities that require no advertising and minimal planning. In just two hours, we gathered 140+ responses on generative AI tools, subscriptions preferences, and overall thoughts on AI. This talk will share our goals, activities, key takeaways, and how libraries can user similar strategies to inform AI-related services and spark meaningful conversations in their communities.

This presentation was delivered via Zoom for the 2025 GAIL (Generative AI in Libraries) conference on June 10, 2025.
