PROJECT OBJECTIVES
The objective of ADELE project is to design and test a self-assessment tool to improve digital competence in the library sector. It fits into the projects for adult education.

Concretely, the activities to be implemented in the project are:
- Development of methodological framework and testing of the tool with at least 100 selected libraries
- Conceptual design of a beta version: the ADELE tool
- Technical development of the beta version ADELE tool
- Further testing and review
- Finalisation of the final version of ADELE tool
- Development of a toolkit to support digital transformation of non-formal learning institutions using the ADELE self-assessment tool.

- Web-based self-assessment tool for libraries
