About the ADELE Self-assessment Tool

Digital technologies have profoundly changed our personal, professional and educational lives. The changes in the educational landscape due to digital progress are far reaching and the library sector is now exploring new roles, methods, and services in lifelong learning to better reach learners and make their services more user-friendly. But how can libraries know if they’re using digital technologies to their full potential.

The Advancing Digital Empowerment of Libraries in Europe (ADELE) project aims to answer this question by offering a free customisable web-based tool that helps adult education organisations reflect on how they use and where they can further integrate digital technologies to improve their services. The tool developed builds on the SELFIE tool for schools developed by the European Commission with the aim of supporting adult education organisations offering non-formal education. In doing so, the tool will help non-formal education organisations be digitally ready and forward-looking.

The ADELE project has developed a self-assessment tool geared towards library managers, library staff, library users to help them assess the digital readiness and preparedness of their library. The snapshot generated from this tool will help libraries to identify and improve their digital readiness. As the tool provides information on the library's current digital state-of-play, the assessment can be taken again to to evaluate the progress made. By analysing the given results, librarians and library managers will have the chance to initiate a discussion and identify their strenghts and weaknesses by having a clear view of how the identified target groups perceive and self-assess the services offered.
