- About the Author
Sustainable development can only be achieved when no one is left behind but an inadequate digital infrastructure can hinder the drive for all to be digital literate. Digital Literacy, Inclusivity and Sustainable Development discusses what libraries in Africa are doing to ensure their communities can engage in work, education and society.
In this new book, editor Helena Asamoah-Hassan, Executive Director of the African Library and Information Associations and Institutions, takes readers through contributions from libraries across the continent about the impacts of COVID-19 on digital literacy campaigns and the strategies and achievements made by libraries.
Including insights on Kenyan libraries teaching their communities to operate in online spaces, the level of digital skills of students in Uganda and many more perspectives spanning the African continent, the book features contributions from libraries across Africa outlining their approaches towards better and more widespread digital literacy.
