UCI Libraries chatbot Transcripts (ANTswers)

ANTswers is an experimental chatbot that can answer questions about the UC
Irvine Libraries. ANTswers is a web-based application, run on a remote
library server and is accessed through a web interface page. ANTswers’
personality and persona is based on the UCI mascot, Peter the Anteater.
ANTswers responds to simple and short questions. The first link in a
response opens in a preview window, all other links open in a new window.
Each transaction is reviewed and a data form is filled out to track usage;
such as date, time, answer rate, etc. Using the UAMCorpusTool3 an analysis
of ANTswers transcripts were conducted for a 2019 ACRL Contributed
Paper.  Transcripts with the corresponding replies removed are
available here.  Names (if provided) have been removed for
