AI and the Literature Review: A Comparison Online

Can you build a literature review with AI? How does it compare to the traditional route? Join us for a session with one goal: to help you choose when, where, and if automation makes sense during your literature search and synthesis. We will compare and contrast various AI tools, discuss the ethics of AI usage, when it’s okay to use, and when it’s no substitute for your brain. 

Attendees will: 

  • Use cases and scenarios for AI-enhanced literature reviews 

  • Learn how to evaluate the advantages and limitations of an AI tool from its documentation and test searches 

  • Decide when it makes sense to use an advanced database and search protocol instead 

  • Uncover methods for breaking the lit review task into subtasks for better project management and/or prompting 

Workshop Incentive Program: Any student who attends at least 3 library workshops this semester will be eligible to receive a FREE Yale Library tote bag. Learn more.
