ENTITLE was a multilateral project under LLP KA4 Dissemination and Exploitation of Results, designed to support and extend the progress made to date by Europe’s public libraries in supporting learning for all age groups and sections of society, by disseminating, consolidating and enhancing the work of key existing networks, projects and initiatives in this area.
It focused on the contribution to be made through informal learning settings in libraries to lifelong learning, combating digital illiteracy and social exclusion, paying special attention to gains achieved through the applications of ICT.
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.
An important question for the libraries community and their partners in the formal and non-formal education sectors relates to the question of the role which libraries can play in delivering agendas.
