This resource provides explanations on the core concepts of ‘digital’ and ‘literacy’. It also has a chapter on critical digital literacy and how to develop evaluative digital literacy skills. The resource can be used as an introductory material for those who wish to understand foundational issues about digital literacy. Importantly, the resource has exercises which include reflection sections.
Ideas for CPD interventions
The CPD coordinator can use the Digital Literacy Development Framework embedded in the resource to evaluate librarians on their digital skills, practices, identities and footprints.
