In a world driven by technology, artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing industries, including libraries, information centers, and research teams. While AI streamlines processes, enhances accuracy, and delivers analytics, it also introduces challenges such as data privacy concerns, bias, and the risk of over-reliance on technology. Remember before using AI in your library, information or research center, check your organization’s policies and guidelines, especially when working with sensitive data.
Solo librarians juggle multiple roles, balancing marketing, support, research, and library management. While balancing all of this, how can you transform your library into a dynamic, engaging hub?

We are proud to announce Softlink Information Centers has been selected as a finalist in the 2024 Engage Awards for Best Customer Service Team! This recognition highlights our customer service team’s commitment to delivering top-notch support and service to our clients.
