On Thursday, November 13th at 12pm, the St. Thomas Libraries will host a one-hour Zoom session (register here) to help attendees learn about an AI-powered research tool called Consensus. The libraries are trialing Consensus for the 2025-26 academic year and want to help interested users learn how it and the class of research tools it represents differ from both traditional library tools and more web-augmented research tools like Perplexity or ChatGPT. Learn how it deploys LLM natural language searching to surface research from a corpus of 200M+ academic papers, and how it can help both students and faculty with quick-and-dirty literature reviews and syntheses of scholarship on a wide variety of topics.

Session led by librarians Scott Kaihoi and Karen Brunner.

Registration available here.
