About the Book
Libraries have an important leadership role to play in helping learners navigate and participate in our digital society. Taking a leadership-as-practice approach, this edited volume explores digital literacy leadership around three major activities: framing or defining what digital literacy is and can be; building learning experiences into programs and initiatives; and pushing beyond disciplinary or institutional boundaries to forge partnerships, advocate for change, and make new connections. While many books have addressed how to teach digital literacy knowledge and skills, this volume steps back into the bigger picture of structuring programs, leading campus conversations, and identifying what it means for these initiatives to be library-led.
