description Generative AI introduces gray areas in academic ethics by enabling students to rewrite their work in ways that circumvent Turnitin’s originality checks, thereby posing significant challenges for higher education. This study analyzed the AI guidelines of 16 top universities in Taiwan, revealing that most of these policies primarily address faculty, lack explicit guidance for student use, and only mention the library’s role in two instances. In response, beginning in September 2023, the National Chengchi University (NCCU) Library launched workshops on AI utilization. Building on the findings of the policy analysis, the library plans to redesign these workshops and an accompanying quiz-based engagement activity in 2024. The revised program will emphasize AI literacy—encompassing understanding AI, using AI, evaluating AI, and creating AI—and introduce ethically responsible approaches to AI use in academic work. This paper discusses the NCCU Library’s experiences and challenges, highlighting the emerging role of academic libraries in guiding students toward responsible AI use.
