Quest for Digital Literacy

Abstract

For centuries, libraries have served as chambers of knowledge, and librarians have been keepers of that knowledge. Today, the core mission remains the same, but now we have new and powerful tools to preserve and share all the data that libraries hold. These tools must be used wisely, for digitalization, and for keeping and organizing files in a digital repository specifically made for that purpose. Of course, all that knowledge must be shared, and we are doing that in many educational workshops. Additionally, librarians must not be afraid to explore and use new technologies such as powerful artificial intelligence (AI) to improve their services. Our library, the City Public Library "Žarko Zrenjanin", is in a never-ending process of modernization and trying to keep up with the world. This is why we have embraced most of these new tools and are using them daily, as you will see in our poster.
