The Library: a Partner with the school in the Educational Process.
Reflections, practices and perspectives
That is the theme of an international seminar in Rome on 29 October 2007. The seminar is part of the activities on International School Library Day.
Connecting schools with the local context and the library world, providing innovative services, granting access to information, by the means of co-operation and the services of the Italian National Library Service (SBN), are the main goals of “Biblioteche nelle Scuole” (“Biblioscuole”) project.
This national three-year pilot project is funded and supported by the Ministry of Education, University and Research, Direzione Generale Servizi Informativi (MIUR-DGSI) and Department of Technology and Innovation (DIT), in collaboration with National Centre for the Union Catalogue (ICCU) and the Ministry of Cultural Heritage (MiBAC). It was launched in April 2004.
The main aims of the project are: providing a wider access to information; enhancing information literacy, and promoting reading. The overall goal is to contribute to lifelong learning, for a continuous cultural development and the social inclusion.
