Synopsis

Welsh and Wright, both from the University of Southern Mississippi, look at the various types of information literacy students need to succeed in the Digital Age: cultural literacy, library literacy, computer literacy, network literacy, media literacy. For each type of literacy, Welsh and Wright provide contextual background information, basic concepts, a resource list, exercises, and activities to help librarians teach the skills and to reinforce the concepts for learners. This stellar guide is a one-stop source for developing 21st century literacies.
