DIGITAL(ISED) LIBRARIES: WHY? WHAT? HOW?
This is Part 1 of 3 of webinars for the #EmergingInternationalVoices project of IFLA and Goethe-Institut.
The first session will focus on what we mean when we talk about digital libraries. We want participants to be able to explore the different ways in which digital tools can enhance existing library services, as well as making it possible to offer new ones. The focus will be put on the process of creating digital libraries: how can we make sure that we create platforms that suit the users’ needs?
