Described by Laura as someone who "totally gets it," Jane Stimpson is a consultant for the MA Library System who has over a decade experience in academic libraries in Texas and Massachusetts. Jane began working as a consultant for MLS six weeks after Chat-GPT came out. Her consulting work is coupled with a wide-reaching series of virtual community chats, one about library instruction and the other, AI. In a time of uncertainty, Jane's chats have become a digital third space for discussion and comfort many of us have engaged with. If you haven't caught one, check the link to the recordings below, and if you have, listen for some of the insights Jane shares about her process and how she keeps up with the "firehose of AI news." Her monthly AI Chats for 2027 will occur on the third Friday at 2pm.
