These Guidelines have been compiled by CALIMERA to provide policy makers and professionals working in cultural institutions at the local level (in particular, public libraries, museums and archives) with a concise and relevant summary of the state of the art in the use of new technologies. There are 23 separate Guidelines in all. These are structured as three main groups covering Social, Management and Technical issues. The Guidelines are intended to explain in a readable way how these technologies can be deployed to develop digital services designed to meet real user needs - social, cultural and economic – and to stimulate wider take-up and creativity among our professional community. They are also intended to support a clearer understanding of the way in which local cultural services can play a key role in the fulfilment of major policy goals in Europe, including those of the e-Europe Action Plan.
