| dc.description.abstract | UVic Libraries convened a multi-disciplinary focus group in November 2025 to understand how UVic faculty and post-doctoral students are using AI in their research, where they face barriers, and what institutional supports they require. Fourteen invited faculty and researchers participated from across a wide range of research areas. This report summarizes key themes from the focus group and closes with a set of recommendations for UVic. Executive Summary: Recommendations 1. Establish an AI Research Consultant position within the library. 2. Invest in secure, institutionally hosted AI tools beyond Microsoft Copilot. 3. Build a living, curated resource hub for AI tools. 4. Create an institution-level values statement on AI for research and teaching. 5. Facilitate structured peer-to-peer dialogues to support research uses of AI. | |
