NotebookLM a Personal Tool for Research & Productivity

The UVic Libraries Digital Scholarship Commons helps the UVic community pursue their passions and tell their research stories in engaging ways. We offer workshops and help with software, 3D printers, laser cutters, and more. The DSC provides a welcoming and inclusive space for the UVic community.

Workshop participants who have earned a badge can do the following:

• Describe to a friend the fundamental capabilities of NotebookLM, including Text generation, Summarization, Translation, Question-answering
• Notebook guide: Use the built-in prompts in the “Notebook guide” to quickly create: Briefing documents & an Audio summary of the documents in a 2-person podcast format
• Create Lecture or Meeting Transcription Summarizations: Prompt NotebookLM to create a summary based on who is the intended audience for the summary, and the purpose of the summary (for example meeting notes).
• Create Research Summaries: Efficiently summarize and analyze research literature such as journal articles, reports, presentations and videos including citations. Verify all facts and claims.
• Ideation & Brainstorming: Evaluate a group of journal articles for gaps in the literature and potential research questions to fill those gaps or explore a related topic.
• Summarize Survey Feedback: Summarize large numbers of short-answer survey responses, to help you quickly understand the key issues being brought up by respondents.
