Get Linked up, Loud & Literate in NZ
We're heading to Wellington to present Linked up, Loud & Literate: Libraries enabling digital citizenship, a one-day seminar at the National Library of New Zealand on 12 November.
Following hot-on-the-heels of the LIANZA conference, the seminar will look at what digital citizenship means for libraries and cultural institutions, and how to equip and empower community members to be confident, capable and engaged citizens. Through a varied program of panel discussions, Q&A, lightning talks and a workshop, this seminar explores concepts of democracy, transparency, participation, identity, e-government, digital service delivery, and freedom of access to information and resources.
