Tweeting, Pinning, Posting, Skyping- what’s next?! Communicating in the ever-evolving technosphere requires a keen focus on adaptability and flexibility. In an increasingly media rich digital world, there's a lot more to effective communication than the ability to read and write. Successful and meaningful communication now relies on our ability to fluidly transition through a wide range of media and communication tools and environments.
Transliteracy - the ability to communicate and interact across multiple platforms and technologies - is becoming increasingly vital to creating cultures of learning within our libraries and our service communities.
This session will introduce you to the principles of transliteracy and will provide practical ideas for integrating transliteracy skills into staff training, public training, and public programming. We’ll discuss ways in which your library can equip staff with the skills necessary to keep pace in a transliterate world. During the session, you'll generate ideas for library programs and classes that your library can deliver to your communities to ensure transliteracy flourishes.
Integrating transliteracy skills into training and programming is the next frontier, and being transliterate will get you there.

2. Welcome!
Share an experience when you were
learning something new.
How were you able to apply that new skill to
other areas in your life that you didn’t expect?
3. Takeaways
Leave with a concrete idea or two for
incorporating transliteracy theory into
programming, staff training, or
public training.

means of communication interact and
understanding…the skills necessary to
move effortlessly from one medium to
another”

6. “The most fundamental notion
of transliteracy is the ability to
adapt. It’s creating a literacy
and fluidity between mediums
that’s not tied to space of
modality.”

Example:?
Expectations for the audience. Listen. Focus. Engage. Participate. Chat. Reduce the amount of words here Everyone will come away with a concrete idea or two for incorporating transliteracy into programming, public training, or staff training. (formal or informal, “at the end of the session I’m hoping you’ll leave with…”
transliteracy is (1) an incredible simple, intuitive term, that, when embraced, can get us more mileage out of instruction, staff training, and resource management” (2) it isn’t something we teach. You don’t teach first-graders ‘literacy’; you teach them how to read and write. Likewise, you don’t teach transliteracy, you teach about best practices for making use of information resources. Transliteracy describes a certain facility and threshold level with respect to that information technology use.

So let’s talk about ideas for incorporating transliteracy skills into staff training and library programming. You may already be doing this and just don’t know it. A little later we’ll give you a chance to share your transliterate programs and brainstorm others.
