Librarians as navigators of the digital divide
The project DigLib ensures that librarians are equipped with the necessary skills to perform this critical role. By mapping the digital skills required by both librarians and adult users, the project will design a capacity-building programme. The programme will then be delivered via an immersive digital learning environment, implemented and tested at 20 public libraries located across four European countries. Once trained, librarians will bridge the digital divide, transforming libraries into not only vibrant digital hubs, but also hubs of inclusivity, education and social cohesion.
