Abstract
Agentic AI is here, and academic libraries risk falling behind - not because of a lack of capacity, but because efforts remain fragmented and overly deliberative. This session challenges libraries to move from isolated experimentation to coordinated action. It proposes a focused, collaborative workshop model organized around core functional areas such as cataloging/metadata, research, archives, acquisitions, and digital services. Each group would identify shared AI opportunities and propose scalable solutions, including generative and agentic AI applications. The key takeaway is a roadmap for shifting from parallel exploration to collective construction, advancing a more unified and productive future for academic libraries.
