TECH.LIBRARY

Digital technologies and online tools are a key driver to foster improved library services for visually impaired readers.

Nevertheless, in most EU countries:

Library staff is not fully aware about the scope and potential of ICT tools and services for the involvement of visually impaired users, and awareness is also poor on valuable experiences and best practices that could be reproduced at local and international level;

Digital competencies of library staff are often insufficient to effectively integrate digital tools.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES

TECH.LIBRARY focuses on 3 main objectives:

1.

Favour the exchange of best practices among staff of different libraries on services and ICT tools for the involvement of visually impaired users.

2.

Expand library staffs’ digital competencies through tailored training activities on ICT tools.

3.

Establish a network of libraries for cooperation in responding to visually impaired users’ needs.
