Searching Smarter with AI-Assisted Discovery Tools

How new AI features in our discovery platform can surface relevant scholarship faster, and where to stay critical. This illustrative article was written for the prototype and shows how a migrated newsletter post could read on the new Library website.

Why it matters

Students and staff at the Institute increasingly rely on library services that are online, discoverable and easy to use. Small changes in how we search, save and share information can save hours across a semester.

• Use natural-language queries to start broad
• Verify AI summaries against the full text
• Combine filters for peer-reviewed sources

AI can point the way, but careful reading still makes the research.

Getting started

Begin with the Library's subject guides, then book a consultation with a librarian if you need tailored help. Our team can walk you through tools, strategies and resources relevant to your programme.
