NNLM seeks to empower hospital and health sciences librarians with the resources and skills necessary to offer robust biomedical and health information services. Our new Resource Guide, created by hospital librarians in Region 7, provides a clear, practical introduction to where and how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being used in hospital libraries.

This Resource Guide includes:

• Links to existing high-quality guides to support learning and avoid duplication of effort;
• An exploration of where AI is already embedded in the tools librarians use and support; and
• Links to webinars for librarians who provide instruction or informal guidance on AI use.

Our heartfelt gratitude to AI CoP members who developed this guide: Carol Cave-Davis, Tom Cummiskey, Jill Daby, Kate Erwin, Bridget Gunn, and Anne-Marie Kaminsky.

A message from NIH:

On September 29, 2026, the President signed Executive Order 14434, Inaugurating the Era of Super Intelligence, which directs federal agencies to use the terms “Super Intelligence” and “SI” in place of “artificial intelligence” and “AI.” NIH is working to update its websites and communications accordingly. During this transition, you may see both terms used across NIH content. We appreciate your patience as we work through these updates.
