Clarivate published an Academic AI Impact study examining how AI is affecting core workflows in academic libraries, based on interviews with 11 library professionals across eight institutions. The study reported a 30-60% reduction in time spent on repetitive manual tasks and a 2-4x increase in workflow capacity without additional staffing. It also found that 50-60% of reading lists were immediately available to students after AI processing and that 70-90% of AI-generated metadata was accepted with minor edits. Oren Beit-Arie said the study describes workflow redesign considerations that keep human judgment central, and Melissa Gomis said AI can shift staff time toward relational, instructional, and strategic work.
