The library has capacity to foster smart, safe and responsible
use of digital technologies in the community. The library’s
management has provided a clear mandate for change,
reflecting the vision and principles of the organisation and the
needs of the library community.
Library practices and agreements are discussed, reviewed
and aligned to reinforce cybersafety and wellbeing values so
that day-to-day operations in the library exhibit a safe, smart
and responsible environment.
Libraries offer information, guidance and lessons on how
users can utilise the benefits of technology, avoid online
pitfalls and be able to embody positive, smart, safe and
responsible behaviours online.
Libraries enhance connections and reach out to the wider
community to promote ‘eSmart’ behaviours, helping to embed
cybersafety and wellbeing principles.
Library staff have knowledge of digital technologies, training
in cybersafety practices and are capable of responding to
inappropriate cyber-behaviours consistently and effectively

Libraries progressing - case studies
Albany, WA | 2 librariesKimberley Kiggins, eSmart Coordinator:
Campaspe, VIC | 5 librariesJenny Mustey, eSmart Coordinator:
People who do not have access at home can come into the Library knowing they can get connected in a safe environment and be confident in asking our trained staff for help if they get stuck.
eSmart Libraries play an important part in strengthening and expanding library staff knowledge and skills in order for them to deliver the key messages and promote good digital citizenship.”

Libraries progressing - case studies
Hume, VIC | 6 librariesIrene O’Neill, eSmart Coordinator:
Central West, NSW | 7 librariesJan Richards, eSmart Coordinator:
Many Hume residents do not have access to computers at home and rely on the library for internet and email access. eSmart is providing us with the opportunity to identify gaps in staff skills and knowledge and assist library customers.
Through our modelled behaviour, training and policies, we will be able to promote the positive use of technology and dispel some of the fears and uncertainty around it. ”

Training feedback
I found everything extremely helpful and useful and I am now inspired to go back to work to start the journey
A great introduction to the implementation of cyber safety in public domains
It was most useful to see all the help and resources available to help us along and how important it is to inform the community on cybersafety
All aspects useful and relevant to the topic. Presenter was great, very professional.
Learning from each other and through discussions in a relaxed and interactive environment

implementing the service but see how it can be beneficial to the
community and staff”

forward to getting the
message out to the
library users and
ensuring our policies,
procedures, practices
are the best they can be”
