Will AI replace Library Science Teachers?

Why this score

Library science teaching sits in a well-protected position because the work is fundamentally about shaping how future librarians think about information ethics, community engagement, and research methodology — tasks that resist automation. AI tools can now generate reading lists, auto-grade certain assignment types, and summarize literature reviews, which means those narrow instructional-support tasks will increasingly be handled by software. But the core of what you do — designing graduate curricula around evolving information policy, mentoring students through practicum placements, and contributing to accreditation processes — remains firmly human. The real question is not whether AI replaces you, but whether you become the faculty member who defines how AI is taught within library science programs.
