Registration is open for virtual training offered
by MCLS for library staff on foundational digital literacy topics.
This two-day virtual workshop will be offered
twice in March. Class sizes are kept small to allow for personal attention and interactive activities.
The Foundations of Digital Literacy workshop
is designed to help library staff gain confidence in everyday interactions with technology and is intended for participants who would like a basic introduction to digital literacy topics.
Knowledge and skills taught and practiced during the workshop will include a basic understanding of hardware
including internal and external components of various
devices, how various types of networks
function, the composition of webpages
and websites, various browsers and their functionality, search engines and tips to perform an effective web search, how to evaluate search results, and information on digital privacy
and cybersecurity.
As this workshop will be presented virtually through Zoom, participants will need to have a basic knowledge of how
to log in and participate in a Zoom meeting. This is intended to be an interactive course that involves discussion and hands-on practice. To successfully complete the workshop participants must have
a microphone enabled, and if possible, a camera.
The workshops are two days from 10am – 12:30pm Eastern (9am – 11:30am Central), and will be offered
on March 18-19 and March 30-31.
