Thinking about transliteracy

I am increasingly coming across the expression transliteracy, to imply the range of literacies needed to function in the 21st century.  I have subscribed to the Libraries and Transliteracies blog today, as this seems an excellent place to explore further.  Buffy Hamilton is a star attraction on this blog for me, and I am sure I will soon feel the same about the other contributors.  Of equal interest is the blog post at School Library Monthly, with its excellent slide presentation on Rigorous Learning with 21st Century Technology .  Question to self is: How do I, in my role in the library and information centre, facilitate and promote discussions with teaching staff on these topics.  Information literacy is still problematic for many - is transliteracy going to seem a step too far?
