Survey on Undergraduate Student Use of Generative AI: Implications for Information Literacy in Academic Libraries
Abstract
In 2024, 250 undergraduate students from a variety of majors completed an
anonymous survey about their experiences using generative artificial intelligence
(GenAI). Survey findings provide details on how students are using GenAI for college
coursework, students’ views of acceptable GenAI uses for assignments, and
their opinions on GenAI and plagiarism. Results highlight a wide range of student
perspectives, underscoring the need for greater foundational knowledge of GenAI
among students. Data from this survey also reveals connections between AI literacy
and information literacy through the concepts of evaluating information and using
information ethically
