Erasmus+ Projects in Libraries: The ADELE and BIBLIO Projects

Abstract

The Central Institute for the Union Catalogue of Italian Libraries, ICCU, has a long tradition
within European projects and in recent years has been involved as a partner in two Erasmus+
projects on librarians' skills and self-assessment: BIBLIO (Boosting digital skills and
competencies for librarians in Europe) and ADELE (Advancing Digital Empowerment of
Libraries in Europe). The two projects are developing their activities in the context of public
libraries, but their results may also be useful and applicable in the context of school libraries
as they concern librarians' skills and libraries' digital strategies.
