Researching with AI tools

Would you like to find out more about AI tools and their use in source research or prompting? Then you've come to the right place

What needs to be considered?

  • The database of the platforms is limited (e.g. some of the most recent literature is still missing, the results are largely in English, mostly articles from journals and open access).
  • Many tools are subject to a charge or can only be used free of charge in a basic version.
  • Depending on the preferred discipline and personal approach, one tool may be more suitable than another.
  • The quality of the sources is untested. Helpful information such as "peer-reviewed" is missing.
  • Content from paid databases is mostly missing or can't be accessed if the database isn't licensed by the library.

 

Please inform yourself about the exact data protection declarations on the pages of the individual tools. The servers of most tools are located outside the EU.
