Digital citizenship is a concern of student affairs programs in higher education, and has been at least since Tracy Mitrano articulated the IL skills necessary to address challenges related to Facebook use at Cornell in 2006 (http://www.it.cornell.edu/policies/socialnetworking/facebook.cfm). This 2014 tweet was one of the “Student Affairs Tweets of the Week” (http://josieahlquist.com/2014/01/27/infusing-digital-citizenship-into-higher-education/). Digital citizenship would be a great opportunity to bring together libraries, residence hall education programs, and other student affairs efforts.

Digital citizenship is now a recognized component of K-12 education, as seen in the relevant section of the ISTE Web site (http://www.iste.org/resources/searchresults?keywords=Digital+citizenship). This suggests an opportunity to link scholarly communications education efforts across ACRL and AASL in the same way that the Interdivisional TF has done previously on other K-20 topics; it also suggests an unusually good opportunity to link efforts with PLA, as such programs are also part of public library instructional programs (http://webjunction.org/news/webjunction/digital-citizenship-and-public-libraries.html). We’re always looking for good ways to bring together discussions of instruction across academic and public libraries; financial literacy was one such opportunity and digital citizenship is another.

If the TF (or others) have done more work in this area that I noted, I would love to see it (and to see it continue).
