 Good morning and welcome to this week's edition of Encompass Live. I'm your host, Krista Porter, here at the Nebraska Library Commission. Encompass Live is a commission's weekly webinar series where we cover a variety of topics that may be of interest to libraries. We broadcast the show live every Wednesday morning at 10 a.m. central time. But if you are unable to join us on Wednesdays, that's okay. We do record the show every week as we are doing this morning. And it will be available on our website for anyone to watch later. It's about the end of the day today if everything cooperates. Both the live show and the recorded shows, archives are free and open to anyone to watch. So please share with your friends, family, neighbors, colleagues, anyone you think might be interested in any of the shows we have put on here. The Nebraska Library Commission is the state agency for libraries in Nebraska. And that is for all types of libraries in our state. So we provide support and training, consulting to public libraries, academic, K-12 museums, correction facilities, special government, anything that's a library we provide services to. So on our Encompass Live show here, we have topics that will be of interest to all those types of libraries. So you will find things all across the board. Really, our only criteria is that it is something for libraries, something a library is doing, something we think libraries should be doing. We do demos of services and products sometimes, book review sessions, mini training sessions. So it just really runs the gamut there. You'll find something for anybody, I would think. That we do bring in guest speakers sometimes from outside of the Nebraska Library Commission, outside the state. But we also do have our own Nebraska Library Commission staff that put on presentation sometimes. And that's what we have today. Today with me is Amanda Sweet, she's got her coffee, she had her breakfast sandwich. We are good to go. And she is our Technology Innovation Librarian here at the Nebraska Library Commission. And she has a new-ish, soon we'll stop calling it new, it's been six months or so. Once a month, one of our shows on Encompass Live is Amanda's Pretty Sweet Tech session. Get that Sweet Tech. It's now officially the last Wednesday of the month. The last Wednesday of any month will be Pretty Sweet Tech. So if you are a techie type person and you're interested in anything like that, they're on our calendar going out every the last Wednesday will be hers. The topics will be loaded and announced on there as soon as she has, you know, she doesn't have things planned out six months ahead. But as she decides the topic is, the full information will be loaded on to that particular Wednesday's description. So I'm just going to hand it over to you to tell us how to use the power of the internet wisely. It's true. It's true. So the internet can do a whole lot of things. Like what we're doing now. It's true. But the whole thing is, we're starting to get a better idea that the internet has a great amount of power. Everything's going digital and everything's transitioning over. We have to learn all these new skills and there's a ton of resources out there that show what these skills are. But now, how do we actually use and apply the information that we're learning? And that's what this is all about. I found out that if you run a library program that says, like, learn your privacy and security skills, everybody cares. They don't show up. Boring. Yeah. Sounds boring. Yeah. I mean, it sounds boring. It sounds tedious of things that no one actually wants to know. So it's kind of, it's like digital literacy is like the cough medicine. You know that you should take it. But nobody wants to. But then people start caring when their identity gets stolen. So our goal as librarians is to find out how to get this information to people before it becomes an emergency. People walk into the library with information needs. But when this stuff becomes a need, not good things are happening. So we're going to go over kind of the major categories of digital literacy, which I'll get into when I actually transits and over to the digital literacy guide that I put together. And it's a lot easier for you to remember what these skills are and to have a visual connection between what this actually means when you're actually looking at it. I could spout off a list of categories. Doesn't mean anything. And then, so once we get these categories together, we'll start actually looking at your own individual community and finding out the different categories of people that you're working with. Are they adults? Are they children? Are they older adults? And at what stage of life are these people in? And what kind of activities are these people doing? And why would people actually care about these skills? What would get people through the library door? So say, for example, we were talking about that privacy and security stuff, but that's not just a separate skill. It's not a floating category that just needs its own event. It should be integrated into all life skills. So if you are doing a session on retirement skills or you're doing a session on personal finance for teenagers, that's where privacy and security can get tucked in. People are already learning about how to manage their finances and why that's important. Online finances is a digital skill, but that should be paired together with cybersecurity. You don't want to get your identity stolen. You don't want your credit card stolen. You don't want bad things to happen there. So the general order of this is the main meat of this is going to be number three, review those digital skills. But I start with why and who cares to frame the way you're looking at these digital skills. Think about the children that might be looking at this and then think about if schools are already covering some of what we're looking at. Work with them, yeah. Because this digital skills are huge and you don't want to compete with other organizations in the community and duplicate resources that are already there. Why not just work with them? It takes the load off the library itself and it also builds a better community. And then as you learn these skills, think about what a digital citizen actually is. That's probably going to be different for each different community. You can Google it and find a definition for a digital citizen, but it's hugely broad. It means absolutely nothing until you actually start to apply things in real life. All right, so when you're actually doing the planning process, we'll go back to our who, what, when, where, why. It's a classic. It works. So who walks through your library doors right now? What kind of programming do you already do? And how can you integrate and adjust these programs to fit these new skills? How do you turn digital literacy into a way of life? And throughout this webinar, I'll be talking about if this stuff is actually important to you. Nine times out of ten, it will be. But what actually makes people act on this stuff? And then once you know what's important and you know what matters and why, how are people going to find out you're doing it? If your library wasn't actually doing some of this stuff before or you're adjusting the way things are being done, how do people that didn't go to the library know that you're starting to do this? And how do you use these digital skills and coding is also one of these, too, to actually bring people into the library doors? And then timing is everything. You can do a Rando project or a Rando program. But what are other things in the community? What else is going on? What can you play off of to get the timing right to connect people with the skills they need? And more often, more most importantly, why does it matter? I use the quintessential teenager because that's the most difficult market to get into the library. But they've done a series of surveys through Common Sense Education and through peer research. And teenagers actually want more guidelines to start using their devices. They're completely lost. I go, I think digital native, digital native, is not a real thing. No, it doesn't. The stereotype of they're born, did they just know how to use it? No, they don't. They know how to do a few things that they've been using because their friends use it. Or it's easy and quick to just post something to your Instagram. I think you can swipe, right? You can swipe, yeah. But there is so much more to it. And there are so many things that they do not know. And if you see places where they're talking online, teams or the millennials, as they call them, people who supposedly were born with a phone in their hand, they are begging for, I don't know how to do that. Stop saying that I do. It's not real. And when you hand this new technology over to this younger generation, and you tell them, oh, yeah, they know everything about this. They can learn this, and then they can teach us. We're also kind of sending the message that you're not going to get any help from me. And you're on your own. And that's how it works. And I've seen different iterations and different phrasings of that same concept. And I've seen that just across the board, not just in the state, but nationally. And there are schools out there that are just kind of handing these devices over, and then you turn the student into the teacher. But you're doing that to take the load off of the teachers because they're already overstretched. And then you're putting that load onto the student. But now, does the teacher that's already overstretched have the time to oversee the student that is just learning to teach themselves? And they already are assumed to be a digital native, and they're assumed to be comfortable with technology, and now they're afraid to say that they're not. And even if they did say that they're not, they were given this responsibility. They don't want to lose it. And I don't have any research data that supports that right now. I'm still digging around for it. It hasn't been done. It's all due, yeah. But I've seen it. I've seen it in libraries across the state as I've done makerspace training and they brought in high school volunteers that get this technology just thrust upon them. I've seen it at conferences when people talked about these programs that they start putting more responsibility on teenagers and sixth to eighth graders. In some ways that's amazing. In some ways it's incredibly effective and in some ways it actually does build responsibility and helps encourage skill building. But on the other hand, what do you tell an adult now? Adults don't have to do a thing. So that's not a universal blanket statement. But it's just, it's one of those hidden messages that goes in there. So now what are these magical skills? So I put together this digital literacy guide and it's kind of still a work in progress because when I put this together, I realized that I should start with why myself. So as I go through these different categories here, I start with what? And I started to use these statistics to say why this stuff actually matters. But after I put all this stuff together, I realized that it's not tangible enough. There's no real use cases that I actually led with. When I do my in-person sessions, I use in-person real life studies, like real life scenarios. Like why would privacy and security lead a patron to walk into the library and what would make them take action to ask for information? That would be, I think my computer got hacked. I think I have a virus. What is the virus and malware? And what do I do if I just got this data breach notice in the mail? Those are the actual scenarios that would bring someone into the library. And I actually realized that just pretty recently. Like I put all these resources together to show what a digital footprint is and to show what where your data is going when you actually go on the web. It's good to have that information, it is. But where's the relevancy? And that's kind of my challenge to librarians that are out there because I'm just one person. And there are a lot of different communities out there, a lot of different libraries. But what are the scenarios that we're actually going to ask to make people take action and say, this digital footprint is vital. I need to know where my information is going. I need to know who's looking at my data and I need to know how this information is networked together. So when you go online, you go onto a website, you're being tracked by the website owners. Then you're being tracked by third-party companies. You might be being tracked by data brokers. And data brokers are these third-party companies that scrape public record information and then they buy and sell information and data that's collected by first-party websites. Then they kind of reorganize and repackage this data and sell it out to other organizations. So these data brokers are gathering all these little tidbits and nuggets of information and then send it on over to like health insurance companies, background check companies, other advertisers and places like that. So, and that's actually, it's getting to be more common knowledge, but not everyone knows that yet. But if you did a library program that was just centered on a digital footprint and where your data goes, it's a scary topic that no one wants to think about. And people will not actively go out to seek that information. So our job is to package it with something else. So people seek information in the emergency, but maybe we can just start putting this in when they start learning about how to use social media. A lot of libraries are already doing one-on-one training or group training for using social media. Just tuck it in there. And you can also have handouts that are available at the reference desk. And then you can also put it into children's programming and put it into just a variety of different ways. And so these are different ways that we can show what a digital footprint is because it's also really difficult for us as librarians to learn all this stuff and then teach it directly. So the resources that I put on here, it gathers the information for you. And this one actually has different modules that will walk people through what this stuff is and why it matters. But the biggest thing is what gets them through the door to get this information in the first place. And then, so this is just kind of like a general listing of categories here. And they're relatively self-explanatory. Like finding out what threats are online and finding out how to prevent them and then what to do when things go horribly wrong. So, and just go up to the next category because these are relatively straightforward. And then communication and etiquette is actually tied to privacy and security. Because have you ever actually thought about all the different ways there are to talk to people online? Oh, like the different program or places to go? Yeah. Oh, yeah. So do we know when the different ways to do it? But then when to choose those different methods? Do you wanna get a text message just a mile long? Yeah. But it does send necessary information. And do you actually want to get notifications all the time about all this stuff? So when I actually first started putting this resource together, I actually, I turned all my notifications on to every single thing that I had actually signed up for. Wow. I know. That's the kind of thing I do the opposite of. I don't want to. This is just morning to some notification that's popping up from my Facebook. And I'm like, no, I don't need to be. And I don't need to be told what that library is doing every day if I'm following them and that's all. It's not my library. So it's, you know. Sam, the reason I did that is because if you don't have this literacy skills, you don't know that you can turn these notifications on. Exactly. And you don't know like that you're just getting bombarded by all this stuff. And I found out that I was getting an average of about 112 notifications every day. Wow. And then, so then I went through and I started going, what's actually important here to you? Yeah. And do I actually want to check all of these? Do I want to check my chat messages? Do I want to check my voicemail? And do I want to log into Skype and find out if I have any messages there? Do I want to log into all these different places? Social media, there's a lot of the million of them. Oh, every one of them, or somebody can comment back to you on what you posted, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram. There's, you know, yeah. And then I asked myself, so all this stuff exists. I set up this account maybe five, six years ago. Now, I don't really use it that much anymore. But now I still have people trying to contact me there because they still use it, but I don't. But I never communicated that I was no longer using it. And I never communicated that I had shifted over to something else. Now, they were both on these two platforms and were both still communicating on both platforms. But then I also have other people that are using other platforms. So how do we start to nest this in the bud and just kind of like get our digital community together and start cutting out the stuff that doesn't matter? So you don't get 112 notifications in a day and that you don't have so many things competing for your attention? Because whenever you get that ding on your phone, is you know that it takes anywhere between five minutes and 20 minutes to get back on track after you look down at your phone, respond it back to some message, and then try to go back to what you were doing? We don't actually interruption. Yeah. And those are actually some studies that they were doing just recently through peer research to find out what's is doing to people. And are we thinking about it? And it says, I mean, that I think isn't even something, I mean, there's more things that can interrupt you, but there's always been interruptions. I think a lot of sometimes a lot of these things, these internet-based things, people are like, oh, it's all something new and we have to figure it all out because oh my gosh, I don't know what to do. No, your phone needs to just ring and interrupt you and do the same thing. But you can easily silence your phone. Right, you can silence your phone. You can silence your cell phones, get those texts and things if you need to. I sometimes, I have in my office here, I have a, we have a good old landline still that's our meal. If I'm needing to do something and I need not to be interrupted, I unplug it. But it doesn't ring. I get voicemails, it's fine. People can leave me messages being, I need an hour to work on this report or project or whatever, and I need to have my focus. You can do the same thing with your, so even that old technology, it's been around. You do the same thing with all of these notifications. You do not have to be constantly getting nudged. You can, yeah, turn off the phone and then come back to it later and see what happens. And then we have FOMO. Yeah, I know. So FOMO, for those who don't know, fear of missing out. It's actually turning into an anxiety complex. And it's actually biggest in teenagers right now because people, in the back of their mind, they know they should turn these notifications off and they know that they should just unplug and maybe go out in the fresh air. But what are you missing? There's so many things we can hear about now because of all of these connections we can make. You can hear the news about what happened in, not just talking to somebody and saying, but what happened in New York, what happened in some other country, what they discovered on Mars, whatever. There's so many things that you can know about. And what if you miss hearing one of the really cool things? Yeah. And we now have, oh, let's see what it's actually up to here. Oh, yes. We have, oh, wow. It's actually growing a little bit. That is the total number of websites, 1,724,840,550, 60, 456. Yeah, and look at that thing that just popped up. Firefox stopped a social network from tracking you here. Just talking about that. And something is set up on this browser. I actually did switch all of my browsing over to Firefox just because I like their security and data tracking better than Chrome. But Chrome's still the most popular browser. And I'm sure they're gonna tweak it and get better at that and over time. Check changes. Yep. So now we know that FOMO's a thing. We know we get way too many notifications. We know that we need to start building these social media profiles so that you put a positive spin on things and so that your future employers, future friends, future whatever will see you in a positive light. And then we know that miscommunication happens. But what do you do with it? How do you actually get people into the library to talk about the way they communicate? And the people they communicate with are largely in their immediate vicinity. They're within your community. And also, is digital changing the definition of community? What is WWW stands for? World Wide Web. People have communities not just locally now. I have a group of communities based on the online gaming I do. A group of people that we're all together in a group on Facebook and they're from all across the world. That's just as valid and important and real a community as myself, my friends here who physically get together and hang out and go to pub night, pub quiz night at the bar, whatever, it's the same, yeah. And then what about interacting with different cultures online? People greet each other differently in some places. And some people have different ways of like not everyone shakes hands, which you wouldn't do digital anyway. But we have emojis that do that for us. If you send a shaking hand emoji to someone in another country, they may not know what that means, what you're trying to do. And when you, so we built this symbolism system and we know exactly what this means. We know what all these different emojis mean to us. And then you start redefining these emojis in your own little personal group. But then you start using those same emojis and going global with it. And we're teaching kids and people to start reaching a global audience. And we're starting to teach them to create content and put their message out there. But if you put it on these global platforms, it's not always gonna be interpreted the way that you want it to be. Other ways to get expected to be, yeah. So what I'm actually doing now is putting together different ways that you can introduce different cultures and get people thinking about what a global internet actually means to them. Because you can tell people that they're going global all you want, but the globe, the world is such a huge concept. It's so huge that it means nothing. The further away things get, the less power you have in your own personal sphere. Well, it doesn't matter. But it still does. Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it's not there. And especially if you're going into online finance and business, if you are, even for crafters that want to start posting their items online to sell online, we have a whole ton more makerspaces going on in libraries. People start making their stuff in the library and then they wanna do something with it. So then you start packaging your product and you start putting it up on Etsy or eBay or different third party sites. And how do people find your stuff? What are you competing with? Who are you competing with? Are there other crafters? You're not just competing locally anymore. You're competing globally. And Etsy is a big place. And even if you're just competing within the US, you have other cultures that move to the US. And it's just a mishmash. So that globalization is changing everything. And then once you start selling stuff online, what if you get scammed? What do you do with that? And how do you get that information to your library system? One way is to actually package online scam and online shopping information with makerspace projects. If you do a make and take, you can also put out these handouts to show what identity theft is and what different ways, different things to look for when you're shopping online. So you can actually print out like a top 10 list like this and then have people go over. So you just made a whole bunch of different makerspace stuff and you wanna start making this stuff again. How do you go by materials? What do you look for on a website to go find these materials? You can't find them locally. They don't make the stuff locally. You have to bring it in. The pieces, the materials and what you're gonna use, yeah. So you got people's attention. You got them in the door by doing a make and take. But now you just do a five minute blurb with a handout that says, you know, when you're looking for stuff later, try this, shop smart. Now I can see this one. You're talking about how do we get this kind of safety on the internet and working on the internet out to our users, if you've come into a library, need to know this. And I can see this one being a good program or a class because there are so many people doing their own crafty things and we know they're out there. They're selling it and they may be making that jump to this. And this is definitely one that a library could do. I mean, has anybody done any sort of program about how to sell your wares online? And that would be some way to then weave into it like you were saying. The other thing she needs to know about being online, your online footprint, your online identity, how are you branding yourself online? So many things that can be discussed in the context of the thing that your users are actually really interested in that I make these crocheted soda can cozies, whatever. And I think, and then all my friends and family says I should sell them somewhere. And online's a good place to do that. So, and that's why I put together these different resources for starting an online business because libraries, they went to school for librarianship. They know librarianship. Not everyone has learned how to start their own small business and not everyone feels comfortable leading a session about an online business. But you can go through and read the highlights from these different sources, from people who have already done it, they've been there and they've put together these different guides. And then you can bring people in the library together to start working through the guides that already exist and then start looking through. And there's also different courses online that if people finish this session in the library and they say, this was amazing, but where do I get support to keep learning this and keep doing this? And that's where we start shifting over to learning online. So this is going to send us over to just a slew of places that are offering courses online. So some of the bigger ones are Coursera. And so Coursera and edX, they're both a collection of courses that were made by universities. And there actually is, for many of them, there is a free audit option. So you can start taking the class and then you'll get all the content and information, but you won't be able to go through the graded assignments and you won't have the paper certificate that shows that you did it. If you don't need to. Yeah, you don't need to send that into someone for like continuing education credit with which some of your people come into your library, that's not why they want to learn this. They want to learn as they can sell their stuff online or whatever. Then that's perfectly fine, yeah. And so if people are coming in for actual professional development, that they need something to prove that they, and they want to put it onto a resume, they have the option of upgrading an audited class to a certificate. And depending on that, depending on the course and depending on the website, it can be anywhere between 50 and about 80 to $100 to do it. And Future Learns website, they actually have shorter unlimited learning classes that you can buy a year subscription and you can take as many unlimited learning classes as you want. And if you finish a course and under that unlimited learning, you can earn the certificate and post that on there. So if you have people that want to do a whole lot of learning, it's a good way to do it. But in these, you actually have different categories. And the reason I chose Coursera is because they have different business classes. And if people want to start their own small business, they don't necessarily need a full business degree, but they can choose the information they actually need. ASICs will help them, yeah. And then, and they can also do, so they started doing different master track style stuff. So it's actually just kind of like a miniaturized master certificate that's online. And it can lead, it can also lead into a larger, more official looking master's program. But not everyone wants to get another master's and not everyone wants to spend two to four years doing that. They just need the skill. And so here's where the coding comes in. Udemy, Udacity, and some on Coursera and edX and Allison. Right now, there's like a craze about learning how to code. But one, what does code actually mean? Two, what are you using it for? Three, if you don't know what you're using it for, what code is and why you're doing it, how do you know which aspect of coding to learn? So when people actually ask me, I want to learn how to code. And they say, what language should I learn? And then I say, I say, what do you want to do? Why do you need it? Why does it matter? And then they say, I don't know, why does it matter? And I say, that's something that's personal to you. It's something that's personal to your students. I can tell you some common reasons that coding is used and I can tell you some common reasons that digital skills are used. I can't tell you why it matters to you. I can't tell you why it matters to your community. I can't tell you why it matters to your library. That actually requires more of a discussion. It requires looking deeper into the why. And what is our time here? A quarter of 15 minutes. Well, we started a little late because our technical issues, so I'd say 20 for a full hour. So this is kind of what we're running into right now is there are so many digital skills out there that we can't just teach it all in person. No library on the planet actually has the time, energy and resources to teach every digital literacy skill and every single skill that a community would need to thrive in a digital age. It just, I wish that library sounded limited resources and budgets, but we don't. And now that brings me over to, how does your community learn how to learn online? Have you considered how learning in person isn't different from actually learning online? Because it is drastically different. So in here, we go into e-learning industry. So right now, libraries and edX and Coursera, they're all putting together these different systems to learn online, but are people leveraging them well? Are digital natives leveraging them well? Are you managing your time well and balancing your communication notifications with actively learning online? Do you know how to set a goal for yourself and then chunk out that goal to finish the end of the course? And if you don't want, maybe your goal isn't to actually finish every single assignment on these courses. Maybe it's just to march to your own drum and actually finish the project that you're working on. So how do we get this information over to library patrons? Because we may connect people to these resources, but if they don't have the digital literacy skills to navigate through the interface, or they don't have the digital literacy skills to budget their time, block out distractions, and if they're being attacked by malware and viruses all the time, how would they actually do all this stuff? So there is a possibility of, if you do a makerspace and people get really, really, really, really, really interested in one facet of learning. Like if they start with Raspberry Pi and then they start learning how different sensors connect into Raspberry Pi, and then they want to find out how those sensors can start talking to your device and learn how to use internet of things, then they want to use like, if this, then that. But then they say, I need more control over this and I want to start learning how to use the protocol that makes the sensor talk to the device using Python. And then there's about 20 different platforms that you can use to do that. So it's like, so this is what people are running into. They start saying, okay, I want to do this, and then they get over to the next step, and then they want to do this and get over the next step. But if they're learning something completely new, they don't have a framework to know, I clicked on this resource, is this information accurate or is it not accurate? And how do you know and how would you be able to vet out different information sources? So how do we help patrons with being able to vet out these sources? You don't actually need to know every little perfect thing about how to do everything. You just need to know how to evaluate different sources. How do you know who's an expert online? How do you know if someone is just seeing satirical? How do you know if someone is deliberately generating that information to lead you astray? Fake news. Yes. So, and this happens not just with the news, but with pretty much every piece of information that exists on the planet. So we talk about fake news, but the guide can actually be used for everything. If you find a resource out there that tells you that you can learn to code in two weeks, that seems a little optimistic. And that's why this guide will tell you, does it seem a little sensationalist? Is there any other article that'll back up that claim? Is this information current enough to date? And how do you actually go through and find out if that source is credible? And this definitely isn't new information. Libraries have been doing this forever in a day. Sure. So this is our conference zone. Finding out if learning resources and educational resources are accurate and if they come from a credible source, librarians are all over that. So we may not know how to do the specific coding and we may not know every bit of technology that exists on the planet. But we have a pretty decent idea of what's good information and bad. But now the next challenge is, can we do almost a reference style interview to find out where people are actually coming at technology? What do they actually need? And can we leave them toward a resource that will actually suit their need? And unfortunately, I can't tell you that in a 50 minute. That's actually another resource that I'm working toward right now, the choosing and using technology. But I also have about, I have several more sessions to actually narrow that down and start building better. It's learning how to ask the right question and then learning the menu of technology that exists to have that background information ourselves to be able to connect people with the information that they actually need. Because we're kind of quickly finding out that there really isn't a subject matter expert in technology. There's people that know a lot about it. There's about a billion people that know more about every bit of technology than I do. But experts don't agree either. Yeah. I think that's something you've mentioned, you've discovered is you've been trying to narrow down and just nail down what says your illiteracy, what do we need to do? There's not a consensus. There's so many things involved with it now as you see from all the different sections you're putting into your guidebook here. And everything intersects with each other. Yeah. And so all of these categories on the left overlap. So there's online business and finance. If you're starting your own business then that runs into digital law and regulation. You have a makerspace when people start grabbing images from online and then you get copy and paste fever and you start grabbing anything that looks cool. If you didn't know that copyright was a thing, which I really hope people do. Yeah, I really hope people do. But I mean, some don't. Yeah. And also I guess murky. Or don't understand what it is. There is the, and you still hear the phrase, well if it's on the internet it's free to use. I've heard that. No, no, no. So much no. That doesn't mean anything no, no. And then so you start getting different things like if you go into Google and you search for an image. A frog is my favorite animal before, by the way. They're hoppy. And you go to tools and usage rights. And now you get into copyright land. You find the ones that you can legally use, yep. But then you run in, this is where it gets murky. It's labeled for reuse with modification and labeled for non-commercial use with modification. Now the question becomes, so what is non-commercial? Can I use it from my library? Can I use it in my course? Do I need to get permission to do it? Or as long as I'm not selling anything, is it considered non-commercial? And if it's labeled for reuse with modification, how much do I have to modify it before it actually becomes my own? And does that actually mean that I can modify it and then sell it? Or can I just modify it and then use it? And labeled for reuse is probably the safest one here. And then I also put in a guide for how to find pretty use images. So these are actually different resources that you can access. And some of them you can actually print out to show that this stuff is free to use and that it's available to you. And probably the biggest one you'll probably want to look at is the Connect Safely, this will lead you over to a direct infographic that can be printed out for students or adult makers. And then Pixabay and Upsplash are two websites that are completely free to use the images on there. Pixabay is actually one that I use a lot. And the reason is free for commercial use, no attribution required. It's like makerspace is gold. And then we go back up here. Now a question, this digital guidebook you have here, is this actually live yet? I know you said it's still a work in progress. Is this a website people can get to yet? So it is not live yet, but if you grab this link, it actually is. So if you go directly through this link, and it is this one here. So if you just go directly to that link. And I'm actually not even gonna do a full handout. I'm just gonna do these slides and then that link. Because I mean, honestly the vast majority of this is just sifting through the different resources and then finding out how it actually relates to your own community. And finding out, I'll go down here. Yeah, so don't worry about trying to, if you didn't get that written down. I mean, yeah, can if you want to. But you'll get, after the shows with the archive, we'll get the slide, link to the slide. And we'll put it in the link to the actual digital literacy guidebook that Amanda is working on will be, is in there as part of the slides. But as you said, this is still a work in progress too. So things may change on it as you're using it. So, and I think it'll always be changing because those new things come up. So it's not gonna be a locked in stone when she figures out, here's everything about the digital literacy. I got it on there and now I'm done. No. It's not possible. Things will change, websites will change. Yeah. And digital literacy for adults is different than digital literacy for kids and digital literacy for college students is different from digital literacy for professional development and job skills. And digital literacy for job skills is different from digital literacy for retired and older adults. And everyone cares about different things. So even if you were to go into like ISTE's resource for learning globalization for students or learning digital skills for students, do you try to adapt those skills over to adults? Adults don't care. They just don't. It's not bad. It's not wrong. It's not a problem. And it just, that's also something that libraries have always dealt with too. But with everything that we've done, we, unlike something like universities focus generally on adults. Yeah. You know, K-12 focus on children or whatever. In libraries, we have people from all ages from birth to 99 years old coming in. And we know we've got to have things that focus for each one of each age group. And that's why this 15 minute overview session of digital literacy skills, it's a drop in the bucket. And that's why I actually put that guide together to actually start getting people thinking about who are you actually working with? So if you start this guide at the top and just think about the who and the why, why, who are you working with? Who goes to your library right now? What is going on in their lives right now? What are they trying to accomplish in life? And how can the library add value to what they're trying to do? Because everything libraries do. That sounds like a library to me. Yeah, pretty much. And it's like, and honestly with your, the, so in the state of Nebraska, you have to do an assessment, the community needs survey and community needs assessment. For accreditation, yeah. That's that. Something that's done already. I mean, if you look at that, then you know what is generally going on, what the goals of your community are. And now you just need to take it a step further and find out the goals of the individual. And then find out how many of those individual goals overlap to make it worth building a project, to make it worth making a project out of it or making a program or doing an event. And find out what is important enough to people to have them take action. That's pretty much it. Actually it's 11.02 and I call that good. Yeah. All right. Anybody have any questions, last minute questions or anything you want to ask Amanda about while we're still here wrapping things up. As she said, you're gonna have the link to this guide. So you can definitely go in and explore more. And there as you are, some of you may already be doing some of this training in your library. You know what's out there. Yeah. This isn't something like granted. Almost definitely, yeah. But a lot of things, actually they kind of think help people who have been, I know we've been doing some of these in-person workshops on the same topic. And people are struggling with some of these areas. Yeah, they know some stuff and then it's good to have other resources. So yeah. And then think about what your end goal is. What would be the perfect digital citizen? Is there such a thing? Yeah, right. So at the end of this, how do you want people, what would be your end result for people? What would people be doing if they had perfect digital skills? What would your community look like if you were using technology effectively? And then how can these programs build off of each other to make that happen? If you had a cohesive whole that led over into an ultimate goal, what would that be? And that'll probably be different for every single community too. And I'd probably need to do like a community audit or a digital skills audit in each individual community to even build a program that would fit. I can't give you a generic of something you would do in your library, in your community. Yeah. Okay. No, I call that good. All right. All right. So I think that will wrap it up for today's show. Nobody had any desperate questions to ask right now. That's great. This is a lot of info, yes. A lot of good resources out there in the digital literacy guidebook. So take a look at it. As Manu says, things will be updated and added to it. So right now you've got the link. At some point, it will be actually, what it's not as first being live to us, not searchable on our website yet. If you just can get to it now, if you have the URL, which we're giving you. Yeah. When it's, I'm sure there'll be like more of an official announcement that, hey, this thing has been completed up to this point. And here's a new resource that'll be updated as needed for you. It's never really done. All right. So let's get out of here into one of our websites here. Somewhere in here should still be. This is in the head of our link. There we go. There we go. Library questions website. All right. So that will wrap it up for today's show. Okay, great info. Thank you so much. Some of it says, you're welcome. Yeah. And I'm gonna show in here. This is our library commission website. And it's still has been recorded and we will be adding it to our website right now. I just want to put a regular, yeah. My Google search up there. So far, the only thing on the internet call then the Compass Live is our show. So if you just use your search engine of choice, you will find us. Yay. So here is our website. And today's show has been recorded and it will be added to our archive which here is our upcoming shows. There underneath them is a link to our archive. And today's show will be at the top of this list. We'll have a link to the recorded presentation, a link to the slides. And then within those slides, as we showed you the link to the guidebook will be in there. Hopefully by the end of the day today, as long as we post our recordings on the YouTube, as long as go-to-webinar and YouTube all cooperate, I should have an email out to everybody who attended today and everybody who registered today about the recording being available. We also push it out to our social media as we were talking about. We do have Twitter, Facebook, the usual places. While I'm showing you here our archives, I'll show you we do have a search feature here. We can search just most recent years worth, 12 months, or the entire archive. This is because this is the archive for the entire history of Compass Live. We started in January, 2009. We got going on over 10 years worth of archives here. Once a week, so 50, we do it 51 weeks a year, take one week off for our state annual conference, library conference. So when you're going through our archives, limited to something recent or pay attention to the date, everything has a date of when it was first broadcast. You will find old information, maybe outdated information, websites might not work anymore, products or services may have changed completely or disappeared, no longer exists. Just pay attention to the dates on here when you aren't going through our archives. But we are librarians, we do archive and save things for historical purposes. So we will always have these all out here for you. So that will be our archive. We do have a Facebook page for Compass Live, as I mentioned that there is a media. So we post on there. Here's a reminder of today's show coming up. When there were, no, I don't wanna log in now, thank you Facebook. When the recording is available, we will post it up on here as well. So if you do like to use Facebook, give us like over there and you'll keep up to date on what we're doing. So that will be it for today's show. Hope you join us next week when our topic is Feeding America, Garden Seed Exchanges, Summer Meals and More. Noah Lunstra is a part of a librarian in North Carolina who has this Let's Move in Libraries Project Program just basically about doing projects and programs in libraries and get people out there and exercising and doing good, healthy things. And he's gonna talk about some of that with us next week because he's coming here remotely. He's not coming to Nebraska. He'll be coming in remotely to talk to us about that. So please do register for that and any of our other upcoming shows we have coming up. We've got all the rest of this year's book. I'm waiting for a couple of descriptions for December and we'll get those specific topics up there. And you can see we also have our pre-sweet texts on the calendar as when Amanda has her topics nailed down for the one next one coming in November, that will be updated with information for it. So thank you very much everyone for attending and hopefully we'll see you another time on Encompass Live. Bye-bye.
