Librarian Katelyn Golsby Publishes Article on Controlling Student AI Use in Legal Research Assessments

UMass Law Librarian Katelyn Golsby publishes a short article in the Legal Writing Institute’s online journal The Second Draft

The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's School of Law Librarian Katelyn Golsby recently published a short article in the Legal Writing Institute’s online journal The Second Draft titled, "Assessing Research Skills in the Age of Generative AI: Asking Questions that Machines Cannot Answer." The article describes the types of questions that an instructor may ask to curtail the use of Lexis and Westlaw Artificial Intelligence ("AI") tools when students complete assessments. It also provides examples of how AI can be meaningfully implemented in legal research instruction without preventing students from actually following important steps in the legal research process.
