Taft College librarian Stacy Rollstin-Weiland maintains a comprehensive AI Literacy LibGuide (refreshed June 2025) that provides students and faculty with ethics coverage, citation guidance in three formats, and a catalog of eleven generative AI tools. The Academic Senate proposed amending the academic honesty policy in September 2023 to address AI misrepresentation, and the library now offers four ready-to-use syllabus policy templates ranging from prohibited to permitted-with-reflection.
