Digital literacy in libraries

Join the Information Literacy Group and the Multimedia, Information and Technology Group for a day long conference of seminar talks and activities from digital literacy experts from across several different areas of the library and information sector.
 
Are you currently involved in developing, supporting and delivering digital literacy skills in your library? Are you engaged in developing information literacy frameworks which include digital literacy (and vice-versa)? Do you want to find out more about what others are doing in this area and to what level?
