“…In the current milieu, institutional collaboration is particularly important as most libraries, schools, and universities have closed their doors, leading to increasing demand for access to electronic resources by students, researchers, and faculty. This lends support to Klucevsek and Brungard's (2020) submisssion that libraries are increasing the provision of e-books, electronic journals, and enhancing access to online databases as physical access is limited or restricted in most cases. This is also beneficial to publishers as digital distribution of resources via publisher websites has greatly reduced the costs of dissemination -although the cost of copyediting, marketing and peer-review remains (Tavernier, 2020).…”

Objective – Libraries have had to temporarily shut their doors because of the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in the provision of online and remote services. This review analyzed services offered by libraries, the technological tools used, and the challenges facing libraries during the pandemic. Methods – This study employed a systematic literature review, following the PRISMA checklist (Moher at al., 2009). The Building Blocks search strategy was employed to search for keywords of concepts in Library and Information Science Abstract (LISA), Library and Information Science Technology Abstract (LISTA), Library Science Database, Web of Science (WoS) core collections, and Google Scholar. A set of inclusion and exclusion criteria was pre-determined by the authors prior to database searching. Quality assessment of included studies was performed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (Hong et al., 2018). A tabular approach was used to provide a summary of each article allowing the synthesis of results, which led to the identification of eight broad categories of services provided by libraries in included studies. Results – The first set of searches from the 5 databases produced 3,499 results. After we removed duplicates and applied the inclusion and exclusion criteria based on titles and abstracts, 37 potentially relevant articles were identified. Further screening of the full-text led to the final inclusion of 23 articles used for the qualitative synthesis. The majority of the studies were conducted in the United States of America (n= 6, 26.1%), followed by India (n=4, 17%), and China (n=2, 8.7%). The remaining studies were carried out in United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Mexico, Romania, Czech Republic, Indonesia, Pakistan, Nigeria, Lesotho, and Zimbabwe. The most common method used in selected studies was the case study (n= 11, 48%), followed by survey (n=7, 30.4%), content analysis (n=4, 17.4%), and mixed methods (n=1, 4.3%). The majority of the studies were carried out in academic libraries (74%), while the rest were based on medical, public, and special libraries. Findings show that the majority of academic libraries in the included studies are providing and expanding access to electronic resources (n=16, 69.6%) and increasing open access resources and services (n=11, 47.8%). More so, most academic libraries are assisting in virtual education and teaching endeavors of faculty and students (n=13, 56.5%). In addition, some medical and public libraries are bolstering public health safety through health literacy (n=12, 52.2%), supporting research efforts, and engaging in virtual reference services, among others. In order to carry out these services, libraries are harnessing several educational, social networking, communication, and makerspaces technologies. Most of the libraries in the included studies reported budgetary challenges, and the need for new ICT infrastructure and Internet service as they move their services online. Conclusion – This review found that libraries are adapting in a number of ways to continue their roles in meeting patrons’ needs in spite of the growing challenges posed by COVID-19 restrictions and lockdown. For libraries to thrive in these trying times, there must be a well-structured approach to ensuring continuity of services. Libraries should prioritize the acquisition of electronic resources as well as increase their efforts to digitize resources that are only available in printed copies. As library services have predominantly shifted online, there should be concerted effort and support from government and funding agencies to equip libraries with the technological facilities needed to provide cutting-edge services. The quality assessment of the included studies shows that there is need for rigor and transparency in the methodological description of studies investigating library services provision in a pandemic. This review provides an overview of the ways libraries have responded to the challenges posed by a global pandemic, and hence will be of use and interest to all librarians especially those in health and academic sectors.

“…The AI-powered article summarizer can quickly scan an article and provide the needed synopsis beyond the abstracts (refer to Figure 9.4). It reads the articles and breaks them down into easily readable sections so that users can assess how important the article is without having to read the whole text (Klucevsek & Brungard, 2020). Although it will not automatically write the review for the users, this tool is widely used for filtering articles and helping researchers to efficiently pick the most relevant articles for their research writing.…”

The global adoption of technology in education is transforming the way we teach and learn. Artificial Intelligence is one of the disruptive techniques to customise the experience of different learning groups, teachers, and tutors. This book offers knowledge in intelligent teaching/learning systems, and advances in e-learning and assessment systems. Features include:• Highlights the broad field of AI applications in education, regarding any type of Artificial Intelligence that is correlated with education. • Discusses learning methodologies, intelligent tutoring systems, intelligent student guidance and assessments, intelligent educational chatbots, and artificial tutors. • Presents the practicality and applicability implications of AI in education.• Includes new and current research from research centers and higher education universities. • Offers case studies of AI techniques in educational activities.Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education: A Practical Approach will find interest with academicians which includes teachers, students of various disciplines, higher education policymakers who believe in transforming the education industry, research scholars who are pursuing their PhD or Post Doctorate in the field of Education Technology, Education, and Learning, and so on, and those working in the areas of Education Technology and Artificial Intelligence such as industry professionals in education management and e-learning companies.

“…Portanto, são inúmeras as possibilidades a partir da empregabilidade das TD no contexto de ensino, principalmente na área de educação em ciências. Nesse sentido, a metacognição e as tecnologias digitais, de forma conjunta, podem contribuir significativamente para a aprendizagem (CADAMURO et al, 2020;KLUCEVSEK;BRUNGARD, 2020).…”

A partir das transformações acarretadas pelas tecnologias na educação, torna-se imprescindível refletir sobre o que se aprende. Portanto, a questão deste estudo centrou-se em: qual o atual panorama e estrutura conceitual das publicações científicas inseridas na temática metacognição e tecnologias digitais no ensino de ciências? O objetivo visou identificar as principais abordagens adotadas no campo da metacognição e tecnologias digitais no ensino de ciências, partindo da análise bibliométrica no recorte de 2000-2020. Para tanto, utilizou-se a base de dados Web of Science e, obtiveram-se 97 artigos, investigados sob análise descritiva e relacional. Identificaram-se quatro abordagens: estratégias metacognitivas, autorregulação, projetos e experiências e, intervenção. Verificou-se a tendência na produção de pesquisas mistas e empíricas. Espera-se que este estudo contribua para o entendimento quanto ao desenvolvimento científico no contexto da metacognição e das tecnologias digitais no ensino de ciências, bem como levantar lacunas que permitam a abertura de espaços para futuras discussões.
