Research Strategies

The Primo Research Assistant is a tool powered by Generative Artificial Intelligence (specifically, Large Language Models or LLM). It allows you explore academic content by asking questions in natural language. The tool uses most of the content found in Roosevelt Library's catalog to identify five documents that can help answer your question. It then extracts the most relevant information from the description/abstracts of each source to write the answer. Above the answer, you’ll see the sources used to generate it along with in-line citations that let you clearly see which source was used to generate each part in the answer. Use these sources to delve deeper into the topic and to fact check the responses from the tool. Keep in mind that AI-generated answers should be verified for correctness, as they may not always be accurate or up-to-date.
