Strategies for Strengthening Digital Literacy to Enhance Digital Literacy At the IAIN Ponorogo Library

Abstract

Digital literacy plays a significant role in enhancing students' competencies. Furthermore, digital literacy aids in understanding how technology operates and improves skills in using digital technology and information, such as searching, retrieving, and analyzing information. The IAIN Ponorogo library is one of the technical service units that focuses on developing activities to strengthen digital literacy among students through literacy classes in the library, seminars, workshops, and other training programs. The goal is for students to have strong competencies and the ability to complete tasks while researching and to succeed. As a result, it is expected that students can benefit themselves and the community after graduation. The strategies for enhancing digital literacy to improve student competency in the IAIN Ponorogo library are not aligned with the theory proposed by Norhasni Zainal Abiddin. This is due to several strategies that are not fully optimized in the IAIN Ponorogo library, namely, providing facilities and digital devices for underprivileged students, developing engaging activities and digital literacy learning modules, and the effective role of community leaders.
