Designed for academic libraries and the patrons they serve, the AI Assistant Research Tool allows users to search, refine topics, and build research pathways within a trusted scholarly platform while keeping librarians in control of imperative usage data collection.
The AI Assistant Research Tool supports research discovery by helping users navigate trusted scholarly content through a guided, library-centered experience:
- Adapts to the researcher’s level of experience in performing research, accommodating both beginners and highly advanced researchers.
- Grounds results in peer-reviewed content from IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
- Searches within the library’s available IGI Global Scientific Publishing resources to connect users with accessible source materials.
- Guides researchers toward relevant books, chapters, and scholarly sources while discouraging requests to generate papers on their behalf.
- Directs users into actual content records, with a goal of helping libraries maintain content-click usage collection in alignment with new COUNTER reporting updates.
This tool extends the value of libraries’ investments in IGI Global Scientific Publishing’s e-Book Collection by pairing AI-powered assistance with the reliability of a curated scholarly research platform. Eligible e-Book Collection licensing models include Evidence-Based Acquisitions (EBA), Demand-Driven Acquisition (DDA), Perpetual, Subscription, and Read & Publish options.
