Description & Coverage
Description:

In achieving civic engagement and social justice in smart cities, literacy programs are offered in the society by three essential information service providers: libraries, archives, and museums. Although the library and museum services are documented in literature, there is little evidence of community-led library or museum services that make a full circle in understanding community-library, community-archive, and community-museum relationships.

The Handbook of Research on the Role of Libraries, Archives, and Museums in Achieving Civic Engagement and Social Justice in Smart Cities examines the application of tools and techniques in library and museum literacy in achieving civic engagement and social justice. It also introduces a new outlook in the services of libraries and museums. Covering topics such as countering fake news, human rights literacies, and outreach activities, this book is essential for community-based organizations, librarians, museum administrations, education leaders, information professionals, smart city design planners, digital tool developers, policymakers engaged in diversity, researchers, and academicians.

Reviews & Statements

Hear from the Editor:

"The first level of the digital divide the process of is getting internet access to everyone . . . The second level of digital divide is about skills and type of use."

– Mohamed Taher, Canadian Multifaith Federation

“Let’s come to what is social justice doing here in terms of empathy and equity. For me, I found the simplest definition of social justice is the golden tool of reciprocity. . . Civic engagement for me is involving everyone with openness and fairness,”

– Mohamed Taher, Canadian Multifaith Federation
