REGISTER TODAY >> Digital Odyssey: Registration Now Open! Registration is now open for Digital Odyssey 2019 on June 3 at North York Central Library in Toronto! This year's theme is Digital Literacy. Digital literacy is an integrated set of skills that facilitate access, understanding, usage and creation of technological tools, content and resources. What roles can library staff play in helping library users strengthen their digital literacy skills? What are some of the challenges faced by library users in developing these skills, and how can library staff address these challenges? How can libraries support cross-departmental digital literacy among their own staff? Digital Odyssey 2019 will explore these questions and much more! See the full program here.
