Ever wondered why librarians tell you to only use sources from the last 5 years? Or what makes research "powerful"? Join us as we chat with a 25-year veteran librarian from the University of Tasmania who's been helping students crack the code of academic research for decades.

Our guest describes themselves as a "jack of all trades and a master of none," but don't be fooled - they're experts at turning confused students into research detectives! We dive into the fascinating world of information literacy, exploring everything from why research might have an expiration date to the mysterious differences between grey and black literature.

But here's where it gets really interesting - as AI tools like ChatGPT become everyday helpers for students, how do we use them ethically? Our librarian guest is at the forefront of figuring this out, and they share their honest thoughts about whether AI is friend or foe in academic research.

We also explore the dark side of research - fraudulent studies that can damage entire fields - and discover why librarians might be more important than ever in our AI-powered future.

Show theme music: Kevin MacLeod
