When I attended Michigan, I was very much interested in literacy issues. I took a few library science courses to study information-seeking behavior, information use in communities, and the digital divide. As an aspiring social worker and educator, I believed I needed to understand these issues if I want to work effectively with communities and student populations.
This is the
American Library Association's official definition of digital literacy:
...the ability to use information and communication technologies to find, evaluate, create, and communicate information requiring both cognitive and technical skills.
Do you agree or disagree with this definition?
