Exploring Transliteracy: The New Literacies and Libraries

After being away from Transliteracy for almost a year I recently gave two presentations on the topic.  I had noticed a trend among librarians to equate transliteracy with digital literacy so part of my goal was to add some clarification.  References are included in the slideshow but I’ve also provided them in this post for those who are interested.

PaLA Northeast Chapter That Camp Presentation

As I mentioned elsewhere a couple of weeks ago, I returned to presenting after a brief hiatus due to changing jobs and relocating. I was fortunate enough to be asked by the Northeast Chapter of the Pennsylvania Library Association to give the keynote at their spring workshop. I provided an overview of Transliteracy and you can view my presentation below or on my Slideshare:
