With the launch of the Primo Research Assistant, libraries are exploring how AI-driven tools can enhance the discovery experience. What has the impact been so far? What challenges and opportunities have emerged? This panel will bring together voices from PASCAL libraries that have implemented or explored the Primo Research Assistant to share their experiences with adoption decisions, user feedback, and practical considerations for libraries thinking about enabling the tool. Attendees will gain insights into how the Primo Research Assistant is shaping discovery and what to consider when evaluating it for their own institutions.
