CSU Marks Library Month With AI-Focused Activities
The Christian Service University (CSU) has launched the second edition of its Chapman Library Month celebration under the theme, “Stewarding Knowledge in the Age of Artificial Intelligence.”
The month-long programme is aimed at promoting effective use of library resources and enhancing students’ research skills.
The celebration commenced with a “Library Goldmine” exercise, which exposed students to a wide range of academic resources and services within the university’s library system.
As part of subsequent activities, students embarked on an educational tour to the Prempeh II Library and the Library Mall at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), where they were introduced to modern library systems, digital databases and innovative learning environments.
Speaking in an interview, the University Librarian, Ms. Vivian Amponsah, disclosed that activities lined up include a Library Appreciation Day to honour both staff and users, as well as a practical workshop on Artificial Intelligence tools in research and library services.
She added that an inter-university debate competition between CSU and Christ Apostolic University College will also be held to promote intellectual engagement among students.
Other activities include Chess and Scrabble competitions to encourage critical thinking, as well as the inauguration of the Chapman Library Chess Club.
The programme will also feature a donation outreach initiative to support underprivileged communities.
Ms. Amponsah noted that the celebration highlights the evolving role of libraries in an AI-driven era and urged students to take advantage of available resources to improve their academic work.
The Library Month celebration is expected to boost visibility and attract greater attention to CSU while promoting a culture of smart learning and academic excellence.
