“Participatory librarians approach their work as facilitators of conversation. Be it in practice, policies, programs and/or tools, participatory librarians seek to enrich, capture, store and disseminate the conversations of their communities.”
Dr. David Lankes

“It’s all about learning…
how is this going to fundamentally enrich a conversation?
There isn’t a part of the library that isn’t about learning. Learning is a collaborative conversation.”

inquiry and learning centered

libraries as sites of participatory culture

relatively low barriers to artistic expression and civic engagement

strong support for creating and sharing one’s creations with others

what is known by the most experienced ispassed along to novices

members believe that their contributions matter

members feel some degree of social connection with one another (at the least they care what other people think about what they have created)

a participatory climate is conducive to a library program acting as a powerful and positive sponsor of transliteracy by creating conversations via multiple mediums

transliteracy is the ability to read, write and interact across a range of platforms, tools and media from signing and orality through handwriting, print, TV, radio and film, to digital social networks

“embrace the potentials and challenges of this [participatory] emerging culture not as a replacement for existing print practices but as an expansion of them” ~henryjenkins~

as sponsors of transliteracy, libraries can close the participation gap

knight foundation recommendation 6: integrate digital and media literacy as critical elements for education at all levels through collaboration among federal, state, and local education officials

knight foundation recommendation 7: fund and support public libraries and other community institutions as centers of digital and media training, especially for adults

“we have to make sure schools and libraries invite critical and active uses of media that strengthen our democratic potential.” Deborah Brandt

how can libraries invite participate and facilitate transliterate conversations for learning?
