Developed in conjunction with the Australian Library and Information Association and Australian public libraries these resources aim to complement existing policies in libraries and provide additional resources and support to library staff.
The Cybersmart Guide for Library Staff provides information, support and tools to effectively promote internet safety in Australian public libraries—especially for children.
This guide is complemented by a cyber rules poster for young internet users and a series of online cybersafety videos. Information for families, including the Cybersmart Guide for Families is also available.
Safer Internet Day, an international event marked on 8 February 2011, will focus on the theme ‘It’s more than a game, it’s your life’. The event aims to help children and young people learn essential skills about safe social networking.
To help raise awareness of cybersafety issues with library users, library staff may like to use some of the free Cybersmart resources, including the issue-specific downloadable brochures, below, which are designed for parents and their children. These can also be ordered as hard copies. You can order these free resources online or by telephoning the Cybersafety Contact Centre on 1800 880 176.
Please allow 10 working days for delivery.
