Lifelong Learning in Europe 2/2011

Museums and Libraries as Learning Environments

Museums and libraries, as repositories of human knowledge and culture, are obvious places of learning, but ones that are in rapid transformation. The pace of development of, for instance, information technology causes pressures for change in these institutions, while also creating new opportunities.

This issue of LLinE offers a collection of contributions from this world: the world of art galleries and historical and cultural museums, and libraries. Practically all of the articles, although written in different corners of the continent, spontaneously display the same recurring themes: multiprofessional cooperation as a way of expanding access to services, the need to entice new audiences and the desire to encourage these audiences to be active agents in their own learning.

The geographical scope is wide: contributions from Egypt and the Caucasus region complement the European voices in the issue. An article from Australia launches our new article series on the impact of lifelong learning.
