discover, and
introduce new ways
to advance the
digital literacy of our
students”
“Provide an inclusive
educational experience
that defines international
best practice and
prepares our graduates
to thrive in present and
future societies”

48. “A recognized set of skills, competencies and
attitudes that encompass communication,
collaboration, creation, social awareness and
ethical practices in the digital environment.
Moving beyond the ability to use individual
digital tools.”
1. Define Digital Literacy
49. 2. Connect to Digital
Transformation
A fundamental cornerstone to enhancing the
digital capacity of our staff and students and
directly impact students’ ability to successfully
navigate their academic, professional and
personal lives.
50. No one part of the University is responsible for supporting the
development of these skills in our staff and students. As a set
of skills inherently connected to the discovery, use and
creation of information, library staff have professional
expertise in digital literacies. Therefore, as a service that
supports the whole university community, we are well placed
to lead the development of services and resources that
enable digital literacy skills.
3. Take ownership of Digital
Literacies
52. Pitched for a new role…
‘Digital Learning Librarian’
Lead library digital strategies and
activities in alignment with the
university’s digital transformation
agenda in advancing the digital
literacy of students and
supporting teaching, learning
research activities
55. Digital Identities
Understanding how their
online behaviour impacts on
how they are perceived by
their family, peers,
academic mentors, future
employers and clients.

57. How do we have an impact on our
community in the same way as we do
with services, access and spaces?
58. How do we support
students develop skills
they will need to
navigate and
understand new
information landscapes
in relation to issues that
impact their lives?
59. Time for us to show
leadership from the bottom
up and the top down
