New AI Features in EBSCO

Most of our library platforms are working on beta versions of AI enhancements to make research easier for students. EBSCO has enabled AI features in most of our EBSCO databases. See all EBSCO AI enabled databases. You can see this and more on using EBSCO databases in How to Use EBSCO Databases. 



Generative AI Insights





AI Insights offer concise summaries, presenting 2-5 key points for each document. This consistent format, applied across multiple databases and deep backfiles of licensed content, introduces a new level of uniformity, facilitating rapid review. The aim of AI Insights is to reduce the time users spend searching for relevant full-text articles supporting their research. 



How AI Insights are generated





AI Insights summaries are generated by prompting a Large Language Model to summarize insights from the specific article the user selected AI Insights for. The AI Insight prompt uses a method called Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) to reduce hallucinations. EBSCO also reviews a representative sample of AI Insights with Subject Matter Expert (SME) Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) for biases, tone, accuracy, and timeliness of Insights as a quality and responsible AI metric.



How do You Access Generative AI Insights in EBSCO? 





The Generate AI Insights button is available from the results list of your search below each article. You can click/tap the button to generate the insight. In some cases you will not see the Generative AI Insights listed. These are cases where the content is too short, or a publisher might not have granted permission.

Texas Wildflowers

This time of year wildflowers are everywhere. Of course Texas is most famous for its bluebonnets, but there are lots of varieties of wildflowers out there. Most people know that Ladybird Johnson was responsible for the Texas Wildflower Program, but not everyone knows that it continues to this day. TxDOT continues to sow wildflower seeds everywhere, beautifying the highways of Texas. Mowing is only done during this time when necessary for public safety. Great for the environment and great for the scenery! Get more information on the program , or check out the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center . To find them and see for yourself, get sighting info from Wild About Texas  Wildflower: Sightings . See some great Texas wildflower pix at Flickr .
