Courses on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Librarianship in ALA-accredited Masters of Library and Information (MLIS) degrees are rare.

It consists of about 100,000 words on the topic, with a 4-500 item bibliography. It is the 2024 Second Edition of a 2023 book. It is about 100 pages longer than the first edition.
