What is this new 'Research Assistant' at the top of the OneSearch screen?
Answer
Research Assistant is an AI tool which enables searching for academic content using natural language. It can give staff and students a good starting point for their research process using the high quality, academic resources available through the library. It is not intended to replace the human expertise and skills needed to read, review and critically assess the content but it can automate some tasks to save time by running multiple searches at the same time.
The results will point to resources that most closely match the search and will provide an overview of these sources based on the description or abstract of the source article. Please see the brief tutorial on getting started using the Research Assistant. If you need any further information please contact your Academic Services Librarian.
