The focus of the book is on two themes, civic engagement, and
social justice. This brings in two perspectives that become the
value of this book. First, it is to illustrate that librarians are
not just stamping books, and libraries are not just lending books.
Libraries and librarians are actively engaged in social goals and
encourage community-led partnerships. Second, it presents evidence
that library-led engagement does facilitate in bridging the digital
divide and therefore a social good. The lessons and best practices
in the book will include, among others, digital literacy skills
with a focus on social justice. Such a narrative will describe the
process to search the surface and deep web, discover and locate
desired information. For example, it will also enable a smart
"digizen" (formerly Netizens), to uncover masked sites and
critically evaluate each. The skillful training will also teach
them to be empowered to see what lies behind and beyond in the form
of hate, violence, discrimination, cybercrimes, fake news and much
more. Hopefully, some of these "digizen" will eventually become
ambassadors to reduce cultural and religious illiteracy. In
addition, this book focuses on community engagement and social
justice in a smart city's digital world. This brings about research
on technology in libraries, smart technologies, and digital
literacy. With the special reflections on civic engagement and
social justice in smart cities, this book will open new windows for
civic-minded groups to consider a collaboration with libraries and
will also be beneficial within multicultural and multi-faith
digital literacy programs.
