This session demonstrates how to transform lengthy, disengaging information literacy courses using AI as a collaborative tool under librarian guidance. Learn a replicable, iterative process for AI-assisted course redesign that positions librarians as architects and AI as the construction crew. Discover strategic bot stacking with multiple AI models including Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Codestral - to capitalize on each tool's unique strengths. Explore effective prompting techniques that evolved through hands-on experimentation and see concrete before-and-after examples of course transformation. This presentation addresses common concerns about AI in academic settings while demonstrating how human expertise, pedagogical integrity, and professional oversight ensure AI amplifies rather than replaces librarian knowledge. Ideal for both AI novices and experimenters ready to modernize their information literacy instruction with confidence. Attendees will leave with "Starter Prompts" to modify their own course content and create interactive activities using generative AI tools.
