Empowering peer tutors: Addressing AI challenges in academic writing with the ACRL framework

This presentation highlights findings of a collaborative Library and Writing Center study conducted by researchers Alanna Ross, Rebecca Hastie and Maria Eleftheriou at AUS. It explores the role of generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT, in academic writing from the perspectives and concerns of Writing Center peer tutors. It discusses how the Association of College & Research Libraries (ACRL) Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education can inform the development of generative AI literacy training for tutors, empowering them to guide students in the ethical and effective use of AI tools while promoting critical thinking and academic integrity throughout the writing process.
