Courts have made it clear that AI design choices can cause actionable harm—and companies can be held responsible. https://www.infotoday.com/it/spring26/Boedigheimer--AI-Challenges-in-Design-and-Data-Liability.shtml INFORMATION TODAY - INSIGHTS ON CONTENT Marianne Kay Sun, 01 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT Currently, not all mobile apps are fully accessible, and some implement accessibility features better than others. As a result, when it comes to accessibility features, users don't have a consistent experience across different mobile apps. Nevertheless, as more businesses invest in accessibility, these features become increasingly beneficial to the users. https://www.infotoday.com/it/spring26/Kay--Accessibility-Features-for-Mobile-Apps.shtml COMPUTERS IN LIBRARIES Marshall Breeding Sun, 01 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT Libraries experienced quite a tumultuous year in 2025, with the major challenges of direct and indirect censorship, book banning, and other efforts to constrain their ability to provide information resources and services to all members of their communities. Besides political struggles, it's been a period of technical attacks, via cyberattacks as well as through unprecedented levels of bombardment of resources and repositories by swarms of bots, mostly related to the insatiable appetite of AI services for data. At the same time, libraries are now able to incorporate generative AI as a powerful new technology to strengthen services for their patrons. These factors and others lead to assessing ongoing trends and anticipating what changes may be in store for the next few years. https://www.infotoday.com/cilmag/mar26/Breeding--Anticipating-Trends-for-2026-and-Beyond.shtml ONLINE SEARCHER Marydee Ojala Tue, 10 Mar 2026 10:50:09 GMT The proclivity of generative AI chatbots and large language models to not only fabricate journal article citations but also to make up entire journals vastly complicates our work lives and wastes our professional time. I thought that as the problem became more widely known, library users would decrease their requests for copies of nonexistent articles. I was wrong. The requests keep coming. https://www.infotoday.com/cilmag/mar26/Ojala--Librarians-We-Have-a-Hallucination-Problem.shtml ONLINE SEARCHER #2 Barbie E. Keiser Tue, 10 Mar 2026 10:50:09 GMT AI is transforming information discovery, as it moves from early adventures with classic AI technologies to generative AI and now agentic AI. It's not just search, although major shifts are happening there. It's also browsers, OA repositories, and customized agents that are changing due to rapid developments in AI technologies. https://www.infotoday.com/cilmag/mar26/Keiser--The-Power-of-AI-to-Transform-Search.shtml MARKETING LIBRARY SERVICES Bryan Field Sun, 01 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT Since 2022, I have served as the communications officer for Binghamton University's libraries, and the question of "What new swag should we offer?" is something we dread. We had an idea that had been percolating in the background for a couple of years, and finally, in early 2025, the pieces of it fell into place. As a result, we were able to create an impactful takeaway item that integrated simple technology, promoted a new library resource, and could be designed and produced in-house. https://www.infotoday.com/cilmag/mar26/Field--Creating-Homegrown-Swag-via-a-MakerLab-Collaboration.shtml INFOTODAY.EU Marydee Ojala Sun, 01 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT The backbone for information retrieval has always been the information architecture shaped by taxonomies, ontologies and controlled vocabularies, which is now being hugely influenced by AI. https://www.infotoday.eu/Articles/Editorial/Featured-Articles/Taxonomies-ontologies-thesauri-and-AI-Oh-my!-173707.aspx
