This study explores the activities employed by academic librarians in Sweden to enhance their AI literacy skills and adapt to AI-driven changes in their professional roles. By utilizing an exploratory survey conducted through a self-administered online questionnaire among members of the AI for Learning and Research Support Slack platform, this research identifies key activities crucial for developing and updating AI skills. These activities include collaboration with other librarians, participation in workshops, courses, and conferences, joining AI networks, and engaging in self-directed learning. The study also underscores the importance of knowledge sharing, competency development, and continuous learning, highlighting how librarians experiment with new technologies and collaborate in teams to stay current with AI advancements. The findings are interpreted through the lens of Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory and Connectivism, emphasizing the role of social interaction and networked learning in fostering AI literacy skills. Although the study is limited to Swedish academic librarians and does not explore broader national or global strategies, it provides valuable insights into current practices. By contributing to the limited literature on AI literacy skills among academic librarians, this study provides a foundation for future research on the challenges and impacts of AI on library services.
