AI assistant in Ebook Central e-books

0

ProQuest Ebook Central, the largest e-book collection in HAMK library, has adopted artificial intelligence. The new AI tool is called Research Assistant and can be found on the reader view of each e-book.

With Research Assitant you can:

  • make more efficient and accurate searches
  • analyze the content of the book and its chapter
  • quickly assess the usefulness of a book or chapter for your own needs
  • identify the most important concepts and get their explanations
  • get tips on how to proceed with your research.

Because the Research Assistant tool uses only a single e-book as a source, its answers should be more reliable than usual with AI.  However,  it is always a good idea to check the facts.

AI tools are available in two other library resources: RT Tietoväylä (Alvari) and Statista (Research AI).
