Description:
Welcome to The Library Tech Brief. I'm Maya, and today we're previewing Session 3 of a three-month certification course from LSDC, Pune.
The course is Artificial Intelligence and Digital Technologies for Library Professionals, and this session is called Digital Tools and AI for Daily Tasks.
It's scheduled for Sunday, 18th October 2026, from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM, online, live, and hands-on practical.
The session runs three hours, and recordings are shared the same day.
That's a tight but useful format: a live walkthrough, a recording, and something to practice afterward.
Let's break down the run of show.At 11:00, the session opens with recap and Q&A, covering the previous session, assignment discussion, and participant doubts.
From 11:15 to 11:30, the focus is digital tools for daily library tasks—how digital tools and AI can save time and simplify routine work.
Then image and PDF tools: Image Resizer, PDF creation, and I Love IMG for everyday image and document work.
At 11:50, participants create a simple one-page digital landing page for a library.
From 12:10 to 12:30, OCR.Space converts scanned documents and images into searchable text.
So that's the paper-to-digital bridge?
Exactly. After that, Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Google Forms come in with AI-assisted workflows.
At 12:50, Google Drive and Google Keep cover file organization, Drive for Desktop, notes, reminders, and productivity.
Then Calibre for e-book management: organizing, converting, and managing digital books.
OBS Studio follows for screen recording, live sessions, and library tutorial creation.
And the final block is video creation plus practical: OpenShot Video Editor, a practical activity, and an assignment.
That sequence feels intentionally cumulative—each tool feeds the next output.
The source lays out that exact practical focus: Image, PDF, OCR, Google Workspace, e-book, video, and digital library content.
The course description says participants learn how AI and digital tools can be combined to complete everyday library tasks faster and more professionally.
Participant benefits include live sessions, recordings shared the same day, course material, hands-on learning, and an assignment for practice and application.
The recording and assignment are especially practical because they support review and application after the live block.
The listed Session 3 outcome is to work smarter, create digital content, manage documents, use Google tools, and build practical library workflows.
So the promise is a workflow foundation, not a deep dive into every tool.
The course tagline is 'Learn AI. Work Smart. Stay Ahead.'
