Harmony and Discord: Using Google Gemini in Music Research

This presentation explores the integration of AI tools in music bibliography and research courses. To develop critical research and evaluation skills, students engaged with Google Gemini through two structured assignments. We examine successful applications and challenges when incorporating AI assistance into music research workflows. Drawing from student experiences and feedback, we'll discuss how Gemini influenced research processes, scholarly writing conventions, and information evaluation strategies. The findings offer valuable insights for educators considering AI integration in research courses.
