Research databases and other subscription-based and library-licensed tools are increasingly adding AI components and features to their platforms. We'll compile new developments that may aid in your research as they become available. If you are interested in an AI-enhanced tool the library does not have, please contact us to let us know!
The use of library-acquired content and materials (journal articles, eBooks, chapters, etc.) in Generative AI models, LLMs, RAGs, etc. may be restricted by licensing agreements and copyright laws. Pending court cases and legislation will continue to shape how copyright law and AI interact. There may be instances where certain material can be used in closed Case environments only, and CWRU libraries and the OhioLink consortium are investigating the potential to add language in licensing agreements to allow certain content to be used in closed AI environments, but that work is in development.
We recommend contacting the library before using any library-licensed content in Generative AI Models, LLMs, RAGs, etc.
