  Defining Digital Theology: Barthian Reflections on the Role of Open Access and Electronic Publishing in the Theological Toolkit

summary:
  Drawing on Anderson’s (2018) analysis of theology’s disciplinary distance from the main body of digital humanities work, the presenter outlines a case for the distinctive primacy of digital publishing tools and open access commitments in digital theology, as compared with the broader suite of research tools and methods that constitute the “cultural capital” (Schroeder 2016) of digital humanities as generally understood. The robust representation of theol- ogy in digital library and archives projects might therefore be better understood as reflecting the centrality to digital theology of toolkits and cultural practices that foster engagement with ministerial profes- sionals and broader faith communities—a significance that differs qualitatively from the town-and-gown outreach of the humanities, insofar as theology is not simply benefitted by, but actually defined by, such engagement.

Just as theological libraries must work to honor the expectations set up by accrediting bodies such as ATS, Catholic libraries must strive to meet the expectations set within the hierarchy of the Church as faithful stewards of ancient traditions and promoters of the greater sphere of human life and dignity.

summary:
  These programs allow our online students to gain access to print collections and to physical study spaces near them. If, as seems likely, the changes accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic—offer- ing many if not all classes online, enabling many students and staff to work remotely—represent a watershed, prioritizing e-books and other electronic resources is a logical response.

To the last question, 7 of the 25 respondents were interested in cooperative reciprocal borrowing agreements for non-credit stu- dents, 9 of the 25 respondents were interested in cooperative access to a selection of licensed databases, and 10 of the 25 respondents were interested in developing open-access resources designed for non-credit programs.

  Primary Source Instruction in Theological Libraries Through Rare Book Collections: Collaborative Initiative in Credit-Bearing Library Labs 

summary:
  Primary source literacy can be challenging to define due to a variety of different methods that librarians or other educators might use to teach students about primary sources (Daines and Nimer 2015). According to these guidelines, primary source literacy can be defined as “the combi- nation of knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to effectively find, interpret, evaluate, and ethically use primary sources within specific disciplinary contexts, in order to create new knowledge or to revise existing understandings” (ACRL 2018, 2).

  AI in the Seminary Classroom: Equipping Faculty to Address the Pedagogical, Moral, and Ethical Aspects of AI Use for Class Assignments

summary:
  As we prepared resources for our faculty, we learned that AI use for class assignments presents challenges far beyond the typical concerns about plagiarism detection, including issues with pedagogical, moral, and ethical implications, and became increasingly convinced that AI education is not only advisable but necessary in the seminary classroom. Chatbots, like websites, have varying degrees of reliability, and stu- dents must be trained to recognize the differences. POSSIBLE COLLABORATION: DEVELOPING AI POLICIES While the need for AI education in the seminary is greater than the mere use of generative AI for class assignments, specifying how 170    AT L A 2024 PROCEEDINGS seminarians can use AI in the classroom is still essential.

Indeed, since a private school’s range of impact is limited by their being funded primarily by euergetism and tuition fees, public schools help to meet market demand.6 For-profit colleges and universities, at least many of the ones developed in the latter part of the twentieth century, have another set of aims and objectives that diverge from those of the publics and non-profit privates; they financialize credits for the gain of share- holders.
