Recently, Google launched the Google Scholar PDF Reader as a Chrome browser extension. This convenient tool offers a range of features that enhance the way we interact with scholarly articles and documents.

In the past year, using GenAI tools has become more common in universities. Everyone, from Year One undergraduates (beginning scholars) to advanced scholars, like professors are using it, or at least experimenting. One question many people have is: "How can I cite GenAI?" The answer is the dreaded, "Well, it depends....". What does it depend on?  Rules set by your audience, whether it's a publisher you want to accept your article, or a professor who will assess your assignment. Will they accept GenAi material? How will they accept it (acknowledged, cited, as a co-author?) It can be a bit daunting, but don't worry. Librarians at HKUST provide workshops and library guides that can help. One guide was developed for a workshop for the Researchers Series, Emerging AI Tools for Literature Reviews: https://libguides.hkust.edu.hk/AI-tools-literature-review/cite-ai-content Another is in a general guide on referencing: https://libguides.hkust.edu.hk/referencing/citing-AI We also teach and share this in course-based library workshops and online modules like LANG 1403, LANG 1404, LANG 2010, LANG 2030, and LANG 2070. Do you want the library to create a workshop or a guide for your needs?

AI's ability to quickly generate article summaries from a single question is always fascinating. The paragraphs are often well structured, and many do include real sources. But how accurate is the generated content?

Whenever we can, we give space to you for studying. Recently two more rooms were converted into Group Study Rooms: LG1-355 and LG3-05! LG1-355 was used by our librarians as a teaching room for Zoom classes during Covid.  Now the need is much less and we moved that to a smaller office space so we could give you another study room. LG3-05 was used an a dedicated Interview Room for the past year or so.  We looked at the usage numbers, and how some of you are using the new Study Pods, and decided this room could get more use as another group study room to meet your needs.  Please remember LG3-05 is on the Quiet Floor, so don't make much noise in there - be considerate of other students! I hope you like the new rooms.  I wonder if I can find any more for you?   Edward Spodick Associate Director of Library Services lbspodic@ust.hk
