Abstract

SCONUL has been working as a participating professional association in the JISC Developing Digital Literacies (DDL) programme, which ran from July 2011 to December 2013. During this process SCONUL drew upon the considerable expert advice available within its community, and worked in close collaboration with peer organisations and specific project outputs to explore new approaches to embedding digital literacy in working practices. A baseline survey of SCONUL members raised key questions relating to bridging the gap in staff competences, identifying examples of good practice, the use of the digital literacy lens as a staff and student development tool, and opportunities for SCONUL to champion or lead on digital literacy. We looked closely at the outputs of the JISC DDL programme and themed and analysed them according to these key questions. This report offers some ideas for those faced with the challenge of developing these literacies, whether at a managerial or personal level. We have sign-posted resources around policy and strategic change management recognizing the importance of collaborative conversations within and across institutions. It is important that the ownership of digital literacies is shared across and amongst institutions and services and is not the purview of one stakeholder. This report serves as a starting point for readers to identify resources for the development of their staff, service and institution’s digital literacies and capabilities.
