Abstract
This study aims to explore the digital literacy of Library and Information Science (LIS) Students
in universities in Kerala. The sample of the study comprises 124 students. Structured
questionnaires were used for data collection. On examining different dimensions of digital
literacy, students showed expertise in some areas and lacked skills in others. They found their
digital literacy useful for academic and personal needs, and the LIS course contributed to its
improvement. The findings offer valuable insights for policymakers and institutions to take
steps in enhancing student digital literacy, as the study identifies current skill levels, areas of
weakness, and student suggestions for improvement
