A guide to the various AI tools available through Snowden Library for assisting in research.

Welcome to the AI Guide

This is a guide for students and faculty to become better acquainted with the Artificial Intelligence (AI) research tools available online or through Snowden Library. These include AI-powered tools or forms of generative AI (such as ChatGPT or Copilot). Many scholarly resources like academic databases or search engines have begun incorporating AI into their services to improve search results and assist in the research process. There are also ways to work with generative AI tools in an ethical way to assist you in your studies.

Use the buttons on the left to navigate to pages dedicated to specific platforms or services that currently offer AI tools. As these change, they will be regularly updated to provide recent and relevant information. 

 

 

Important

  • Representing content generated by artificial intelligence as your own is a violation of Lycoming College's policy on academic dishonesty.
  • Confirm that your instructor allows AI tools like ChatGPT to help complete your assignments and in what ways its use is allowed.
