SUMMARY:University Libraries Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Join us in McWherter 2nd Floor Commons or via Teams 
 (https://bit.ly/ULresearch18) for our University Libraries Colloquium\, 
 "Tracing the Evolution of Library Chat: Insights from Transcript 
 Analysis\," presented by Caitlin Harrington\, Associate Professor at the 
 University Libraries and Head of Information Access Services. This 
 presentation traces the evolution of library chat transcript analysis\, 
 exploring the transition from manual\, time-intensive strategies to those 
 that harness powerful technology. The high knowledge barrier of computer 
 programming languages has historically created challenges for librarians to 
 analyze the incredible quantities of data produced by chat transcripts\, 
 and this has limited the scalability of transcript analysis research. With 
 the use of AI\, it has become easier than ever for those without 
 programming experience to perform valuable analyses\, such as topic 
 modeling and summarization.
