Below you'll find a brief overview of the AI-powered tools available through the library's databases and search platforms.
The library's QuickSearch discovery tool and many of its academic databases now come equipped with the AI-powered More Like This button. When clicked, this tool identifies up to five articles related to a specific article in your search results. Please note that it may sometimes find fewer than five articles, or be unable to identify any
You can use this tool to quickly find additional resources after you have found a highly relevant article on a research topic.
In the library's QuickSearch tool, you can turn on the Natural Language Search option. When activated, you can type in actual questions about research topics, just like in a standard AI chatbot.
The Natural Language Search will also show the terms that it used in QuickSearch. As a result, not only can you use this tool as an alternative way to find articles and other scholarly resources, but it may also give you ideas for new search terms that you can test out on your own.
You can use this tool to search using plain language when you're brand-new to a topic, while learning which keywords work best for future searches.
The library's most comprehensive AI research tool is Scopus AI, embedded in the Scopus citation and abstract database. After entering a research question, Scopus AI will generate a summary based on recent scholarly literature. It can also help you discover more relevant scholarly articles and explore research topics in further depth. Scopus AI only uses the peer-reviewed resources indexed in the Scopus database, which makes for more trustworthy search results than general chatbots.
You can use this tool to jump-start your research with a credible overview of your topic and quickly build a foundation of high-quality articles.
