Description
This poster session will explore the interdisciplinary journey of creating a chatbot to enhance the search and discovery of open textbooks for the university library. The interactive tool will enable users to find and access open textbooks through natural language conversation, supporting teaching, learning, and research. We will share how our team of librarians and a Computer Science faculty member collaborated to bring this idea to life, including initial brainstorming, creative funding, and the ongoing development process. The poster will also provide an update on the chatbot's progress, lessons learned, and plans for the next twelve months of the project.
