Libraries without walls

Description:

Three university libraries joined forces to explore the delivery of electronic library services at a distance.

The Project was designed to explore, identify and improve the availability and accessibility to services provided by modern library services to users in remote areas of different Member States.

Having access and being able to use libraries and other services is a primary requirement to conduct university studies. Unfortunately, such services are not available most of the times in remote areas.
