What is digital literacy?
JISC defined digital literacies as those which fit someone for living, learning and working in a digital society.
More specifically, it is “the ability to locate, organise, understand, evaluate and analyse information using digital technology. It involves a working knowledge of current high-technology, and an understanding of how it can be used. Digitally literate people can communicate and work more efficiently …[and efficiently]”.
Scholarly communications
There are many stakeholders in the scholarly communications process:
Researchers Funders Publishers Indexers Reviewers Researchers / Practitioners Libraries
Traditional scholarly communications involves the researcher producing an article, book or book chapter and it being purchased by the library for its readers.
From a static web to a social & interactive web
“Social media is transforming one-way monologues into collaborative dialogues and interactions. It is democratising information and knowledge: it involves everyone, everywhere, in all-the-time conversations. It helps to weave communities, encourage greater openness and transparency, accelerate information sharing, help to access diverse perspectives, mobilise people, stimulate collaborative knowledge building and reduce the cost of participation and co-ordination of resources and actions.”
Minocha, S. and Petre, M. (2012).
Altmetrics as a gauge of impact
OECD. (2014). Does Homework Perpetuate Inequities in Education? (PISA in Focus No. 46).
Social networks
• CV services such as LinkedIn Resource sharing sites such as Flickr, Pinterest, SlideShare, SoundCloud, Vimeo and YouTube
• ID services such as Orchid and ResearcherID
• Profile services such as Google Scholar, Academia.edu and ResearchGate
• Blogging and microblogging platforms such as WordPress, Blogger, Twitter, Quora etc.
• Collaboration sites such as CiteULike, Mendeley and Zotero
• Social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Zotero, Mendeley and Lanyrd
Six degrees of separation
“The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn”.
Alvin Toffler quoting the psychologist Herbert Gerjuoy in Future Shock (1970), p. 211)

How do we develop researchers at the IOE
1-2-1 An initial interview determines their needs A 1-2-1 session on getting them started on a
blog, twitter, collating bookmarks, referencing software etc.
Workshops (Lunch time and bespoke workshops) Mainly for the ECR and MPhil/PhD students
e.g. Referencing, RSS etc. Some in conjunction with IT for IOE e.g.
Blogging and Twitter
Online (many students are distant learners) Using LibGuides LibAnswers Library’s Blog YouTube and Lynda.com
