Draft a Transparent Patron Handoff

ALA's June 2026 guidance calls for clear disclosure, meaningful human review, and a path to human assistance. A useful handoff makes the work visible without overstating what AI or the librarian has completed.

1

Draft a consultation follow-up

TRY THIS PROMPT

Turn the scoped work into a concise patron-facing message.

Draft a 180-220 word follow-up email to the faculty member. Summarize how the question has been scoped, list the next three librarian actions, identify the ambiguity we still need them to resolve, and offer a non-AI consultation path. Do not claim that a search has already been completed.

The email is clear about what has and has not happened.
