Project Background & Rationale
One of the major pillars of Europe's i2010 initiative calls for "inclusion, better services for citizens and quality of life" and emphasises the enhanced use of ICT (Information and Communications Technology) for life-long learning and social inclusion.
ENTITLE (Europe’s New libraries Together In Transversal Learning Environments) was a flagship initiative encouraging a focusing of research and deployment efforts in the field of 'digital libraries', specifically to use high-tech tools to make Europe's rich heritage available to as many people as possible in order to combine individual creativity with ICT.
Guidelines/Recs.
A series of concise guidelines highlighting effective policy provisions for public libraries in lifelong learning, drawing attention and linking to established and emerging good practice in the provision of services for learning, was authored by a working group from 5 of the partners and edited by EUN and MDR for packaging, dissemination and contributive comment.
