Ever wondered what digital know-how you really need in the workplace? Whether you’re heading into placement or starting a new role after graduation, knowing how to work with digital tools (and make smart, confident choices about when and how to use them) is key to thriving in professional settings.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cBeing digitally literate is as crucial a skill as any degree you may have.” – Vanshika Goenka, founder of Kool Kanya<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Start building the digital habits your future self will thank you for<\/h2>\n
Being digitally capable at work isn\u2019t just about knowing the tech. It\u2019s about knowing how to work with it. That means using the right tools for the task, sharing information clearly, navigating tricky systems (hello, SharePoint), and knowing when AI can help (and when it really shouldn\u2019t).<\/p>\n
That\u2019s where our Library Workplace Digital Literacies guide<\/a> comes in.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s inside the guide?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n
The Library has designed the Library Workplace Digital Literacies with students, grads, and early career professionals in mind. You\u2019ll find practical tips and pathways to sharpen the digital capabilities that support good work habits. You’ll learn how to manage information, communicate effectively, and use digital tools with purpose.<\/p>\n
And yes, AI is part of the mix. In today\u2019s working world, knowing how to use AI thoughtfully and in principled ways is a core part of doing great work. How you use AI at uni shapes how you\u2019ll use it as a professional. The guide aligns with Deakin\u2019s GenAI Principles<\/a>, supporting you to develop the kind of ethical, informed AI practices that carry through to the workplace.<\/p>\n
Still evolving with more to come<\/span><\/h2>\n
The Library Workplace Digital Literacies is brand new. This is version one, and there is more advice the way. The guide started life in the Health and SEBE<\/span><\/span><\/span> space, but it\u2019s been broadened to be useful across all disciplines. We\u2019re already thinking about how to expand and tailor it further.<\/p>\n
Although you\u2019ll see AI reflections and pointers threaded throughout, there\u2019s plenty more we want to add. Future updates will build in content from other areas (like Deakin CRADLE\u2019s GenAI and work-integrated learning guide)<\/a>.<\/p>\n
