Building Digital Confidence Together: The ALIA Digital Literacy Group

Digital literacy in libraries has changed a lot. It is not just about helping someone use a computer, send an email or find something online anymore. Now we are talking about artificial intelligence, online safety, accessibility, digital inclusion, emerging technologies and how people can keep learning in a digital world that is changing very quickly. That is really what the ALIA Digital Literacy Group is about.
