Library databases now offer built-in AI tools designed to support your research. Unlike general AI chatbots like ChatGPT, these tools are integrated with trusted academic resources—the information they provide comes from sources that have been reviewed by librarians and scholarly vendors for accuracy and reliability.

The best part? Because these AI tools are connected directly to the CSU Library’s collection, you’ll be guided to real, accessible sources—no need to hunt down a copy or worry whether a citation is legitimate.

Explore the options below to learn how these AI-powered features can help you find high-quality information more efficiently.
