The Biblio.for.mEDA Project was funded under the European Commission’s Leonardo da Vinci programme. The project was coordinated by [[IAL Nazionale]], Italy and was carried out in collaboration with partners from Cyprus, Italy, Hungary, Romania and Latvia.
 
 
==Background==
European Union strategies have highlighted the need for education and training activities to promote improvement in the knowledge, qualifications and skills necessary for the building of the knowledge society. Public libraries, as important community focal points, are increasingly recognised as key agents in the lifelong learning agenda. This project compared and analysed best practices in the library systems of the participating countries to develop an organisational and training model with the aim of promoting the librarian’s role in the facilitation of lifelong learning.
 
==Products of the Biblio.For.Meda project==
The project partners:
* Gathered documentary evidence of the role of public libraries in lifelong learning;
* Undertook a survey of libraries showing best practices in the development of lifelong learning services;
* Identified different organisational approaches, training methods, strategies and practices in the participating countries;
* Analysed the organisational and training needs that need to be addressed if libraries are to play a key role in lifelong learning;
* Developed training and organizational models, which could transform public libraries into key agents of the lifelong learning agenda.
 
==Research in Cyprus==
In the context of the '''Biblio.ForMeda''' project a [[Biblio.ForMeda Questionnaire|Questionnaire]] has been developed to assess the level to which (a) Libraries in Cyprus are aware and apply life long learning concepts and (b) capitalize on modern IT in their daily operations.
