Channel: OCLC Research
Date: 2020-01-22

Since early 2019, Thomas Padilla has been serving as a Practitioner Researcher in Residence at OCLC Research. In this capacity he led an effort to develop a community research agenda that charts a path for engagement with data science, machine learning, and artificial intelligence (AI). The OCLC Research Postition Paper Responsible Operations: Data Science, Machine Learning, and AI in Libraries is the result and will be published in December 2019. Responsible Operations was developed in partnership with an advisory group and a landscape group March 2019 through September 2019. Suggested areas of community investigation present interdependent technical, organizational, and social challenges. This session will describe the process of developing the agenda and an overview of suggested areas of community investigation.
