Digital Reading And Learning: The New Literacies

In the global information environment, time moves quickly. The arrival of the Internet has called into question the need for libraries and librarians. However, contrary to this, in recent years libraries have kept pace with technological changes and have even increased their relevance. The content mainly available on the Web and electronic media has changed the dynamics of how libraries operate and manage their mission.

What is leading towards a change in responsibilities and professional competences? Librarians in this digital age provide access, guidance and training to online physical and electronic materials in the form of ebooks, audiobooks, and digital books at portals Jubimedia while addressing the fundamental tasks that have contributed to the essence of the profession for centuries.

In many cases, Librarians have become masters of training in the use of digital services and many libraries have been transformed into technology training centers offering free or low-cost training through a wide variety of media like ebooks on Jubimedia. Librarians today are more than just administrators of books, videos and digital archives, but they are also key members of the community and their public relations.

Many centers organize and host community events, and are configured as fundamental systems to encourage interaction and to increase the quality of the materials available to their users by generating value-added services.

Simply our tasks have been transformed and adapted to meet the needs of the changing information environment that brings the advantage of knowing the latest in information management and the development of skills on the collection, organization and management of information. In some way today, information professionals are more valuable than ever before for our organizations and communities, because we have extensive knowledge, experience, and community relations skills.
