The paper investigates the transformative function of libraries and information professionals within the contemporary landscape of Media and Information Literacy (MIL) and generative artificial intelligence, emphasizing the significant transformations impacting both the library sector and allied fields. Specifically, the academic library is portrayed as a vibrant laboratory for active and collaborative learning, wherein the establishment of coworking environments evolves into a progressive model that fosters interdisciplinary cooperation, the collective construction of knowledge, and the cultivation of informed and responsible citizenship. The implementation of innovative instruments such as gamification and the utilization of interactive quizzes exemplify efficacious strategies designed to enhance user engagement and foster critical and conscious learning. The experience delineated, articulated through the "five steps to consciously document themselves with chatbots," exemplifies the capacity of libraries to proactively address educational requirements, advocating for an MIL that is responsive to the challenges posed by digital technology and the ethical and social ramifications that ensue.
Il contributo esplora il ruolo trasformativo delle biblioteche e dei professionisti dell’informazione nell’epoca della Media and Information Literacy (MIL) e dell’intelligenza artificiale generativa, mettendo in luce le profonde evoluzioni che investono ilsettore bibliotecario e le discipline ad esso collegate. In particolare, la biblioteca universitaria emerge come un laboratorio dinamico di apprendimento attivo e condiviso, in cui la creazione di spazi di coworking diventa un modello evolutivo per sostenere la collaborazione interdisciplinare, la costruzione partecipata della conoscenza e la crescita di una cittadinanza informata e responsabile. Attraverso l’integrazione di pratiche derivate dalla Critical Pedagogy e dalle Critical Theories, la figura delbibliotecario si ridefinisce, abbandonando il ruolo di semplice mediatore tecnico per assumere quello di educatore, mentore e facilitatore del sapere. L’introduzione di strumenti innovativi come la gamification e l’uso di quiz interattivi rappresentano strategie efficaci per stimolare l’engagement degli utenti e favorire un apprendimento critico e consapevole. L’esperienza presentata, articolata attraverso i “cinque passi per documentarsi in modo consapevole con i chatbot”, testimonia la capacità delle biblioteche di anticipare i bisogni formativi, promuovendo una MIL aggiornata alle sfide del digitale e alle implicazioni etiche e sociali che ne derivano

Abstract
The paper investigates the transformative function of libraries and information professionals within the contemporary landscape of Media and Information Literacy (MIL) and generative artificial intelligence, emphasizing the significant transformations impacting both the library sector and allied fields. Specifically, the academic library is portrayed as a vibrant laboratory for active and collaborative learning, wherein the establishment of coworking environments evolves into a progressive model that fosters interdisciplinary cooperation, the collective construction of knowledge, and the cultivation of informed and responsible citizenship. The implementation of innovative instruments such as gamification and the utilization of interactive quizzes exemplify efficacious strategies designed to enhance user engagement and foster critical and conscious learning. The experience delineated, articulated through the "five steps to consciously document themselves with chatbots," exemplifies the capacity of libraries to proactively address educational requirements, advocating for an MIL that is responsive to the challenges posed by digital technology and the ethical and social ramifications that ensue.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
