Libraries contribute to the evolution of cultural transmission by participating in making broader heritage accessible to the public. To this end, librarians are constantly renewing and experimenting with a wide variety of mediation methods. How can we diversify the activities that promote and facilitate access to the library's heritage collections? What actions and collaborations should we pursue to initiate new uses? Why involve the public, how can we establish an online presence, and how can we develop projects open to the widest possible audience? This collaborative work offers a wealth of concrete examples and suggests avenues for reflection and action for library staff, public reading professionals, and those working in higher education and research. |
