| Abstract: | In the fall of 2006, the Latvia received 16,2 million US dollars from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF), for development of Latvia’s municipal public libraries. The grant given to Latvia is the first outside of the Americas and the first in the Eurasian continent. All means are used to develop Latvian public libraries in the fields of information and communication technologies. The aim of the project was to ensure free access to computer and internet connection in all Latvian public libraries, to train librarians to work and to train library users to work with the new equipment and software, as well as use the electronic signatures and other innovative library activities. In essence, the project is cooperation between BMFG, the government and the local authorities. |
