Transformasi Literasi Informasi Di Perpustakaan Perguruan Tinggi Dalam Menghadapi Disrupsi Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed library operations in the modern era, revolutionizing academic libraries, improving services, and enhancing user experiences. The Universitas Al-Azhar Indonesia (UAI) Library has initiated the integration of AI-related materials into literacy classes to facilitate academic research. This study employs a descriptive-comparative approach to examine the transformation of information literacy programs before and after the rapid emergence of AI in academic writing at UAI, with emphasis on agility in adapting to technological disruptions. Using the “Empowering 8” model as a categorization framework, this qualitative research describes the changes in UAI Library’s information literacy program following interaction with various AI tools. The program has been enriched with basic competencies in utilizing AI-driven applications, marking a significant shift toward optimizing reference resources and enhancing research quality. This study provides a practical framework for integrating AI literacy into existing information literacy models in academic libraries, addressing the gap between technological disruption and pedagogical adaptation. Findings indicate that AI literacy classes play a crucial role in equipping users with skills to employ AI technologies effectively. Consistent with “Empowering 8” principles, continuous integration and development of AI are essential to advancing information literacy education in higher education.
