Leveraging Multiple AI Tools During Business Research Consultations at a Small Liberal Arts College

This poster will share strategies from a business librarian at a small liberal arts college who integrated multiple AI tools into research consultations while reinforcing core concepts from business research and information literacy. While classroom instruction comes with time constraints, it is possible in a single business research consultation to discuss one AI tool for brainstorming and outlining, another for literature reviews, and still another for market research. These strategies will not only be technical but also social-emotional in nature, as attendees will learn some soft skills to help promote a healthy and balanced perspective of AI tools among students.
