Abstract
Purpose
The study aims to find out the uses of ChatGPT for research work and the demerits as well. The application of ChatGTP for aiding scholarly writing was also explored.
Design/methodology/approach
The paper uses literature search from Blogs, Wikis and the internet to find out the trends in libraries using ChatGTP. The literature search and review are presented thematically.
Findings
It was found that just as ChatGPT has positive uses, the demerits may outweigh because it does not check sources of the information. Its advantage as a preparatory writing tool is recognized by libraries and librarians.
Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this review may be one of the few currently on the trends in ChatGPT from blogs, wikis and the cybersphere.
期刊介绍:
Library Hi Tech News (LHTN) helps busy professionals stay abreast of current events and developments in the library and information industry. LHTN publishes articles of varying lengths, reports from relevant conferences, and case studies of how technology is used in the library. The Editors work closely with authors who are new to publishing, and those who are seeking outlets for reporting on practical uses of IT in libraries. Publishing your article in LHTN can be "a place to start," analogous to a "poster session in print", and does not preclude publishing a more fulsome piece in a peer-reviewed journal at a later date. Readers consider LHTN as the source from which to hear what’s coming next in terms of technology development for academic and public libraries.
