This poster was presented at the LILAC 2024 confrence in Leeds, UK. 

Academic libraries play a pivotal role in information and digital literacy education and are well-positioned to integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI) literacy instruction across higher education. The scholarly conversation on the role of academic libraries in AI literacy instruction is new and evolving rapidly, however literature in this area remains limited.

This study aims to form an understanding of the current status of AI literacy integration in information literacy instruction across academic libraries in the United States. A survey was designed to measure academic librarians’ backgrounds, experiences, approaches, and attitudes related to integrating AI literacy into library instruction sessions. Responses present views and practices of academic librarians across the United States related to integrating AI literacy into library information literacy instruction
