Abstract

Europe's i2010 initiative for an Information Society acknowledges that, in a knowledge economy, "digital literacy" should be one of the basic skills of all Europeans. Lifelong Learning takes place in a range of sites, over a period of time, and in a variety of ways, including through leisure activities and playing or gaming. This paper looks at the library's role in learning, and the role of games in learning through the European Commission project emapps.com.
