University of Kentucky Libraries Signs Multi-Year Agreement With Skilltype

"Is the Valerie in the Skilltype chat an actual person? Or AI?"
The above was a question that came in from a Skilltype customer. Because isn't this where we're at now? That even though the now ubiquitous chat function on business websites can include a photo of a person, it doesn't mean the person actually exists...
Rest assured the Valerie in the Skilltype chatbot does exist, and I am her. Or rather, she is me. Or something.
The larger answer to the question doesn't end at the chatbot, though. I am also Skilltype's content manager. And even there is a presumption of technology-powered aggregation and presentation. An AI, not a person.
Not quite. Well, not quite yet, anyway.
Various individual libraries, library consortia, and library organizations prepare continuing education and professional development resources, and then archive them -- webinar and conference session videos, presentations, podcasts, blog posts and journal articles, websites. And that's where it ends for them. Well done.
But this is where it begins for me. As Skilltype has a lot of video content, I'll use that as an example here, in the questions I answer on the way to adding a video to the Skilltype app:
These input decisions have evolved over the time of the Skilltype app, over the last couple of years. Older entries may not have all of the details noted here. Originally, individual conference sessions were split into two entries, one for the video and one for the presentation. In the beginning, web addresses that I had in the Skilltype descriptions didn't resolve into actually active clickable links, and for the longest time, Skilltype descriptions didn't allow for paragraph breaks. We've moved a great deal forward since then.
Feel free to contact me directly with any questions or feedback or suggestions on content. I'm a person, and I'm managing.
