Some examples from our Service-Learning work on Digital Citizenship initiated in 2002. Back then, it was about the digital divide, barriers to access, digital literacy, and anything else that might arise when seniors and students teamed up to promote the idea of getting people online to enhance citizenship.

There are a number of articles and chapters about "eRulemaking" as well that can all be understood as studies of digital citizenship: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Stuart-Shulman/research The platform DiscoverText.com (free for academic researchers) was built specifically to process hundreds of thousands or even in some cases millions of public comments on proposed regulations by U.S. federal government agencies. Over the lifespan of the platform, more than 10 million public comments about a variety of endangered species listings have been an important though at times controversial wellspring of digital citizenship where technology was required to find the substantive input potentially lost in a comment deluge.

Dear colleagues,
Right now we’re conducting research for the Dutch Royal Library to make an inventory of national and international digital citizenship initiatives. Our aim is to develop a guide that supports librarians, teachers and students to make an informed decision with regards to this topic when they want to organize an initiative or (research)project by themselves. I’m looking for examples of such guides internationally, from which we could learn (type of content, user experience design, media formats etc.). Examples of successful international digital citizenship projects are also very welcome!
Additionally I would appreciate it very much if members of the AoIR community would like to share their definition of ‘digital citizenship’. We already learned that digital citizenship includes a broad array of definitions, often in direct connection with other terminology such as media literacy.
Many thanks for your help!
Kind regards also on behalf of our research team,
Deike Schulz
