Joyce Valenza gave a keynote presentation at the Georgia International Conference on Information Literacy. She emphasized that librarians have a responsibility and opportunity to teach students important information literacy skills to prepare them for the digital world. These skills include digital citizenship, respect for intellectual property, and understanding fair use. She also stressed the importance of teaching students to be capable users of information across different media, which she referred to as transliteracy.
