Transliteracy is the ability to read, write and interact across different platforms, tools and media. It involves learning, unlearning and relearning as new technologies emerge. As the world becomes more networked and mobile, libraries must help patrons access and transition information in different formats. Transliteracy is becoming increasingly important as it helps unify access to information.
