AI in the Library
The library’s AI display, in full. It exists in two places: as a physical display on the first floor of the Robert Crown Law Library, and here. Seven parts — the library’s own resources, the rules worth adopting, keeping human judgment in the loop, vetting AI legal research, Stanford’s wider AI ecosystem, SLS faculty scholarship, and a shelf of 47 books.
How this was made
About the display
AI in the Library exists as both a physical display in the Robert Crown Law Library and this companion page. Fittingly, we used AI tools throughout its creation.
How we made this
We used Canva for visual planning, NotebookLM for videos and infographics, and Claude, Gemini, and ChatGPT for drafting text. All AI-generated content was reviewed, fact-checked, and refined by library staff using traditional research methods.
A vibe coding example
The display’s original site demonstrated “vibe coding” — building software by describing what you want in plain language while an AI writes the code. It was built in Google AI Studio and hosted through GitHub and Vercel.
Why we share our process
Transparency matters. By showing how we used these tools — including their limitations — we hope to encourage informed experimentation within the Stanford Law community.
With thanks
