Salem Press is pleased to announce our Digital Literacy: Skills & Strategies volume, a carefully curated selection of essays aimed at increasing awareness and understanding of the changing digital landscape in education and in society at large.

Along with this democratization, however, has come misinformation (unwitting or deliberate), data privacy issues, and all manner of cybercrime. Digital literacy—broadly defined as understanding and being able to use digital devices and technologies such as internet platforms and social media—has become an essential component to living, working, and taking part in education in modern society. Critical thinking skills and science and data literacy are paramount to maneuvering the digital information environment with confidence.
