Curious about using AI to find research papers? Not sure how to properly reference GenAI and avoid plagiarism? This beginner-friendly workshop introduces three GenAI tools (ChatGPT, Elicit, and Research Rabbit), showing how they can support information discovery and analysis. Designed for those new to AI, this practical session will allow you to independently experiment with these tools and participate in group discussions to explore their strengths, limitations, and suitability for different tasks. By the end of this session, you will be able to:

Explain what AI means and some key terms
Differentiate between several categories of AI tools
Describe how some GenAI tools can be used to discover information, including their strengths, limitations, and best practices
Critique GenAI tools and their outputs at an introductory level using evaluative criteria
State the University’s policies on AI, and avoid plagiarism by creating citations for AI-generated content
