Using anonymous pre- and post-instruction surveys, we assessed baseline comfort with AI and library databases (pre) and post-session comfort and perceived helpfulness of Copilot (post). Because responses could not be reliably matched across time points, pre–post differences were analyzed as independent samples. Mean comfort with library databases increased from 2.88 (SD = 0.77, n = 26) to 3.47 (SD = 0.96, n = 19), representing a moderate effect size (Cohen’s d ≈ 0.69). Students rated Copilot’s helpfulness highly (M = 4.00, SD = 0.47, n = 19). Findings suggest that ethical, transparent incorporation of Copilot alongside librarian-led practice may enhance first-year students’ research confidence in academic database use. 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z Rena Greenup's Story by Lisette Kaplowitz Kaplowitz, Lisette Greenup, Rena http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.13013/3900 2026-04-07T18:06:38Z 2010-01-01T00:00:00Z Rena Greenup's Story by Lisette Kaplowitz Kaplowitz, Lisette; Greenup, Rena Slideshow story on Greek Holocaust survivor Rena Greenup's experiences before, during, and after WWII, presented with photographs, by Holocaust Legacy Partner Lisette Kaplowitz. 2010-01-01T00:00:00Z
