Is this something missing from this guide that you think should be included? Do you have a tool or resource related to AI that you think other FGCU faculty members should know about? Please let Em Famer or Anna Carlin know so it can be added!
The Primo Research Assistant is a tool powered by Generative Artificial Intelligence. It allows users to explore academic content by asking questions in natural language. The tool uses most of the content found in our library to identify five documents that can help answer the entered question. It then extracts the most relevant information from the description/abstracts of each source to write the answer. Above the answer, it lists the sources used to generate it along with in-line citations that lets users clearly see which source was used to generate each part in the answer.
This tool can be found on our EagleSearch page at the top of the screen. You will have to log in using your FGCU credentials to use the tool.
This tool is a Generative AI feature that summarizes 3-5 key points of an article, helping users quickly assess its relevance. It complements abstracts and subject headings. Insights are marked as AI-generated, with a disclaimer urging users to verify their accuracy before use.
This tool can be found on any of our EBSCO databases. After entering your search terms, scroll through your results; some of the results will have a "Generate Insights" button that you can click to access the insights.
ProQuest AI Research Assistant
Developed in partnership with librarians, faculty, and users, ProQuest Research Assistant uses AI to tackle common challenges faced by students and researchers. This tool provides key takeaways for articles, additional topics within those articles, the foundational research behind the topic, and relates the articles to the search terms used.
This tool can be found on any of our ProQuest Databases. After entering your search terms, click on the article you would like to look at. The Research Assistant will be on the right side of the screen.
Information about ChatGPT and other AI tools is continuously evolving. The FGCU library is doing its best to ensure this guide is accurate and up to date, and will be updating information as often as possible. Wherever possible, we've identified dates for articles and information to help users understand when the information we are using was published.
If you find discrepancies or outdated information, please contact Em Farmer or Anna Carlin.
The FGCU University Library thanks the following libraries for their guidance and knowledge that informed this guide. Please look over their guides for more resources on AI.
