From Digital Literacy to Digital FluencyDavid Cain
While our students may appear to be digital natives, they rarely have the capacity to make wise or ethical decisions as they construct their digital identities. As educators, we have a moral imperative to guide our students--even in an ever-changing digital landscape.

Currently, investments in research and development in Africa are about 0.6% of the global total of R&D investment, significantly lower than other regions. One of the foremost strategies to address this knowledge imbalance would be the packaging of African knowledge products in such a way that they are available and accessible on the internet. There is no doubt that Africans are producing lots of knowledge in their informal conversation as in formal engagements of varying types. This knowledge is being produced daily in villages and urban spaces, by African government officials and businesses, by students and researchers. Traditional healers are also applying indigenous knowledge to offer cures for COVID-19. Thus, the problem from an African perspective is less that of knowledge production and more one of the gathering, packaging and dissemination of the knowledge.
This training present practical tools, platforms and strategies to effectively disseminate your research results to various stakeholders. It would help you make your research visible beyond academia and create more impact in society.
The exponential growth of social media and the ubiquitous use of mobile technology has changed the way we communicate both socially and for many also professionally. Digital spaces have to some extent removed barriers enabling social learning that is no longer constrained geographically (spacial boundaries) or by time-zone differences (temporal boundaries).
It is therefore timely to consider our digital capabilities and how these can be used to communicate and collaborate; and through interconnectedness provide opportunities for lifelong and lifewide learning that extend beyond the formal learning we are all familiar with.
This talk will consider why a professional online presence is so important; the value of using social media to develop global personal learning networks; and how through open sharing with our interconnected networks it is possible to develop our scholarly practice.

Can we contribute to everyone’s self-actualization?
Can we turn our heads around from the foundations
(collections) to the users (humans)?

9. Is your library ready to support a
world of unlimited content, multiple
formats, massive access, and
consumer expectations of MORE?
Yes?
No?
With Effort, Vision,
Leadership?
Never?

the ideal
Innovation is key to long-
term existence
Focus on clients and
marketshare

shareholders or
owner/investors

Economic success is a
prime personal motivator
Competitors, partners and
allies
e-Business is the
challenge
Focus on “results”

the ideal
Good service is the key to
long-term existence
Focus on citizens and social
contract
Political agendas and
government imperatives

and to citizens
Wise use of tax dollars
Risk averse
Making a positive impact on
society is a strong motivator

18. It’s simple really, shift happens, gedoverit
• Users & Communities will continue to be diverse in the extreme
• Expectations around timeliness will increase
• We will have a foot in both camps for many, many years to come:
digital and physical – professionals don’t debate the end of print
• Content will (is already) be dominated by non-text (gamification,
3D, visual, music, video, audio, etc.), acknowledge that!
• Search will explode with options and one-step, one box,
commercial algorithm-based search is for dummies not libraries
• The single-purpose anchored device is already dead as a target
• Devices will focus on social, collaboration, sharing, learning,
multimedia, creation and successful library strategies will align
with that (and libraries’ missions)
• E-Learning, collections, software, and metadata will go to the
cloud massively
• The “Open” movement is both threat and opportunity for libraries
19. Library Megatrend
It doesn’t take a genius to see librarian
skills and competencies applied to the
trends and issues in our communities in
very strategic ways – policy, social,
economic, learning, and discovery impacts.
26. Librarians core skill is not
delivering information
Librarians improve the
quality of the question
and the user experience
Librarians are about learning
and building communities
42. What if all music, audiobooks, and video moved to
streaming formats by 2018?
What if the DVD and CD go the way of vinyl, VHS, and
cassettes?

What about next generation e-books?
What if all books are ‘beyond text’?
Can we support books with embedded video,
adaptive technologies, audio, updating, software
tools, assessments, web-links, etc.
44. Could your library support advanced higher
education and offer accredited courses or
support universities and colleges for distance
education?
Could your library support distance education,
high school credits, and home schooling on a
much higher level?
Have you catalogued them?
Can you see yourself offering diplomas?
45. Could your library support any kind of mobile
device seamlessly?
Are you fully ready to deliver, agnostically to
desktops, laptops, tablets, phablets, smartphones,
televisions, appliances, at a much higher level?
46. Are you prepared for new forms of content?
Real multimedia? 3D objects and databases?
Holographics? Enhanced media?
Can you be ready for makerspaces, creative
spaces, writing labs, business and start-up
incubators, etc.
Can you publish for your community?
47. What kinds of community spaces are needed in
the future?
Can you support learning spaces, community
meeting spaces, performance spaces, maker
spaces, real advisory spaces, true relationship
and consultation management . . .?
48. What if everything was in the cloud? (software,
databases, metadata, content . . .)
What would you do with those system skills on staff?
49. Semantic, Sentiment, Bias, Visual, Ontological
This is happening in intranets first
What if search immersive resource discovery
becomes as ubiquitous as search engines?
What if schools and public libraries partner on
discovery services (a la NYPL, BPL, QBPL, and
NYED with their BiblioCommons initiative)
50. What if all metadata and content discovery is
freely available using open APIs through the
OCLC WorldShare vault and the Digital Public
Library of America / Europeana vault of open and
free metadata?
What does your experience portal look like? Top
questions?
