About the conference

From June 24 to 27, 2025, the 9th Library Con­gress will take place at the Messe- und Con­gress Cen­trum Bre­men. Under the motto “#Libraries­De­cided­De­mo­c­ra­tic”, Bib­lio­Con 2025 offers space for dis­cus­sions on the role of libraries in democ­racy and for an exchange on cur­rent devel­op­ments in the library and infor­ma­tion sec­tor.

Bib­lio­Con is the cen­tral train­ing event for library and infor­ma­tion pro­fes­sion­als in Ger­man-speak­ing coun­tries. It is orga­nized by the Asso­ci­a­tion of Ger­man Librar­i­ans (VDB) and the Ger­man Library Asso­ci­a­tion (BIB).

AI as a co-creator for OER — legally compliant and inspiring

The devel­op­ment and use of open edu­ca­tional resources (OER) is increas­ingly being shaped by arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence (AI). The hands-on lab will demon­strate in a prac­ti­cal way how AI-sup­ported tools can be used to cre­ate high-qual­ity, legally com­pli­ant and inno­v­a­tive teach­ing mate­ri­als.

Cen­tral top­ics of the lab:

Effi­cient mate­r­ial cre­ation: use of AI to gen­er­ate flex­i­ble and adap­tive OER — e.g. sim­u­la­tions, case vignettes and graph­ics
Legal aspects: Legally com­pli­ant use of AI tools tak­ing into account copy­right, data pro­tec­tion and pub­lic domain
Cre­ative approaches: Devel­op­ment of effec­tive prompts and didac­tic con­cepts

The focus is on active col­lab­o­ra­tion between the par­tic­i­pants. Prac­ti­cal exer­cises and case stud­ies will show how AI can reduce work­load, cre­ate free­dom and pro­vide new impe­tus for teach­ing. The lab will be com­ple­mented by short keynote speeches and a joint dis­cus­sion on the oppor­tu­ni­ties and risks of using AI in edu­ca­tion.

The hands-on lab is aimed at teach­ers of all expe­ri­ence lev­els and invites them to explore the poten­tial of AI as a sup­port­ing tool in OER prac­tice.
