Vital Conversations about Digital Literacy in NJ Libraries

Introduction

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the racial, linguistic, and economic disparities in digital equity, and research is clear about the importance of digital literacy skills as a necessary skill-set for individuals, organizations, and communities to have in order to participate in our ever more connected society.

As a recognized and well-positioned leader in helping local libraries to transform people’s lives, NJSL held a virtual Digital Literacy Forum, on May 10-13, 2022, 10 am – 12 pm, to foster an open and encouraging environment for NJ libraries to expand capacity in response to digital literacy needs in their communities.

Session recordings and presentation slides from each day are now available below.

Spearheaded by members of the Lifelong Learning unit, this four-day forum aimed at inspiring new investments, engagements and partnerships that advance digital literacy across the state.

Click here for a letter from Mimi Lee, NJSL’s Director of Literacy & Learning.

Key Objectives:

Deepen understanding of current state of digital literacy services and infrastructure in local libraries

Discuss common challenges and desired state library support

Brainstorm collectively for possibilities and opportunities for further research, exploration and collaboration.

Bridging the Digital Literacy Gap in Adult Basic Education / English as a Second Language in New Jersey Libraries

KEYNOTE:

Who are we leaving out? Advocating together for increased digital equity

When the pandemic accelerated our use of technology, it revealed the exciting possibilities of a connected, online society, including something we sought to achieve for many years: online adult literacy services. However, this shift has clearly increased barriers for those without connectivity, devices, or the literacy and language skills required to navigate the online world. Decreased enrollment in adult literacy programs throughout the state suggests that while we have improved access to services for some, we have closed the door on a significant number of potential students who will also be shut out of the work and community activities that now take place virtually. By looking at the adults who have been most impacted, we can think about how we will need to reinvent our services to ensure they can participate. Libraries and literacy programs have historically partnered with the shared goal of being in service to the community members who need us the most. Together, we can be powerful advocates for increased digital equity as we think about how to collaborate to embrace the potential of the moment without deepening the digital divide.

Ellen Pozzi, MLIS, PhD, Associate Professor and Director, School Media Specialist Program, William Paterson University

Young people are digital natives, but are they digitally literate? With information (and misinformation and disinformation) at their fingertips through Google, social media and their phones, do they really know how to find, evaluate, create, and communicate information?  How do inequities of access impact digital literacy? What is digital literacy? This presentation will explore these questions and what they mean for young people and the libraries that serve them.

Day Four – Friday, May 13, 2022

Welcome & Introduction

Keynote Speaker

KEYNOTE:

NJ Health Connect @ Your Library

Dr. Pam Baker DeGuzman
Associate Professor, Dept. of Family, Community & Mental Health Systems
School of Nursing, University of Virginia

The ongoing pandemic has put a spotlight on inequities in the healthcare system, especially among those most vulnerable. There is a need for public libraries to play a role in advancing health equity that can be bridged through the NJHealthConnect @ Your Library, funded by the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) opportunity.

This new program, administered by New Jersey State Library, and implemented by Just For The Health Of It! at East Brunswick Public Library, addresses inequities through a combination of technology that offers links to telemedicine apps for doctor appointments, and links to COVID and high-quality health literacy resources. Most importantly, it features a team of certified consumer health librarians at the East Brunswick Public Library who will facilitate and train NJ librarians to implement a telehealth program in their communities.

Dr. Pamela DeGuzman is researching innovative models to improve access to care for vulnerable populations. Her research is grounded in her experience as a bedside nurse, during which she observed firsthand the disparities those from rural areas experience when trying to access specialized care at large urban-centered healthcare systems. She has developed and evaluated CARING (Comprehensive Assistance: Rural Interventions, Nursing and Guidance), which is a nurse-led telemedicine-delivered intervention aimed at connecting rural cancer survivors with specialized oncology care. This experience led her to work toward improving access to telemedicine visits for patients who lack home-based broadband, through public libraries. Since 2019  she has been studying the implementation of telemedicine video visits in public libraries and has written the foundational research agenda aimed at studying this practice. She has published over 40 peer-reviewed articles, and her research can be found in Journal of Cancer Survivorship, Public Health Nursing, Clinical Journal of Oncology Nursing, Oncology Nursing Forum, Hospice and Palliative Nursing, and Public Library Quarterly.
