The purpose of this research study is to explore the ways in which Family Moral, Wellness, and Recreation (MWR) libraries achieve the mission of MWR services by examining libraries in context of creating resiliency in their member communities through their diverse library programs and services. Library programs are currently a popular research field in Information and Library Science (ILS), but little research has looked explicitly at MWR library programming, and how those programs are created for their user community, the military population, making this topic an area of interest in the ILS field. Understanding how MWR libraries utilize their programming to meet the mission of MWR will create opportunities for future research and assessment of library programs and their impact on resiliency outcomes in the military community.

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to enhance student learning and research. Additionally, competency using generative AI is expected to become a critical workplace skill across diverse sectors. Yet, few methods for training college students on how to use generative AI and assess its shortcomings have been tested. We therefore aim to assess graduate students' perceptions of and familiarity with generative AI after using it in a class activity.
