Aiutaci a costruire la Politica europea per le Biblioteche –
riempi il questionario TELL!
TELL (Trans-European Learning Libraries) is a project funded under the Erasmus programme in seven European countries, which aims to produce the Guide to the Recommendation of the Council of Europe on Library Legislation and Policy in Europe.
With this Guide, Rete delle Reti will assist Italian and European libraries in translating the vision and mission expressed by the Recommendation of the Council of Europe into operational practice.
The Questionnaire refers to the first four Sections of the Council of Europe Recommendation:
I. Freedom of expression, free access to information and democratic participation;
II. Libraries in the context of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development;
III. Global and local threats and library activities;
IV. Digital transformation and promotion of a sustainable, trustworthy and inclusive library ecosystem.
The Questionnaire is anonymous. Its results will be useful in defining the Recommendation Guide, which we aim to publish in autumn 2025.
