Transliteracy is the ability for a communicator to flexibly use a variety of methods to communicate their ideas more fully. This skill is an increasingly important one. Communicators who embrace photography, audio editing, coding, graphic design, video editing, can speak to a broader audience more easily. Let's look at ways in which libraries can embrace, learn and take advantage of these literacies to communicate more effectively with their communities of service and practice.
Participants will be able to do the following:
- Identify several nontraditional literacies, related tools and resources, that they could offer as programming or use themselves as a way of extending communication skills through transliteracy.
- Summarize the ways in which transliteracy can improve and extend the ability of a communicator to reach a broader audience more effectively.
- Prepare programming or development that would extend the transliteracy skills of stakeholders.
- Evaluate the extent of their own transliteration skills.
