Clarence Regional Library has received full accreditation to be an eSmart Library.
eSmart Libraries is a cyber safety framework developed by The Alannah and Madeline Foundation and the Telstra Foundation, as one of Australia’s most significant community cyber safety initiatives. It provides library staff and users with the skills needed for smart, safe and responsible use of digital technology.
Being eSmart means knowing how to guard against security and privacy risks online, download content in a legal and ethical way, research and reference information, and manage reputation and relationships in cyberspace.
As an eSmart Library we:
- offer information, guidance and lessons on using technology
- promote smart, safe and responsible online behaviour
- help generate awareness of cybersafety
- connect to the wider community while encouraging eSmart behaviour
