[Danica Radovanović]

Hello Everyone,

I am delighted to announce the publication of my new book (edited
collection)- *Digital Literacy and Inclusion**: **Stories, Platforms,
Communities*; publisher Springer. Here is a direct link to the book
https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-30808-6

This book presents a carefully curated selection of case studies, theories,
research, and best practices based on digital literacy as a prerequisite
for effective digital inclusion. More than a dozen experts provide deep
insights into stories, research reports, and geographical studies of
digital literacy and inclusion models, all from a multi-disciplinary
perspective that includes engineering, social sciences, and education. *Digital
Literacy and Inclusion *also highlights a showcase of real-world digital
literacy initiatives that have been adopted by communities of practice
around the globe.



Contributors explore myriad aspects and modalities of digital literacy:
digital skills related to creativity, urban data literacy, digital
citizenship skills, digital literacy in education, connectivity literacy,
online safety skills, problem-solving and critical-thinking digital skills,
data literacy skills, mobile digital literacy, algorithmic digital skills,
digital health skills, etc. They share the principles and techniques behind
successful initiatives and examine the dynamics and structures that enable
communities to achieve digital literacy efficiently and sustainably. Their
practical solutions, propositions, and findings provide theoretically
grounded and evidence-based facts that inform interventions intended to
ensure that all citizens have and can enhance their digital literacy while
meaningfully and responsibly participating in the digital economy and
society.

The ideas and histories in this book will appeal to scholars and
researchers in the social sciences, engineering, education, sustainable
digital technologies, and transformation, and will also be of interest to
practitioners in industry, policy, and government.
