To acquire both a theoretical background of information literacy training methods and a practical know-how of the management and running of training programs participants attended both a theoretical training course and observed a practical work of partnering institution. Such an approach was chosen to make sure the project participants will be able to organize and run training courses after the completion of the project successfully and to integrate in the lifelong learning process basing on the theoretical knowledge and considering latest trends in the field. The knowledge and international experience acquired by the NLL staff supports development of new information literacy programs, as well as increases awareness of different aspects of information literacy on organizational and national level. It allows the NLL to create up-to-date methodological and information materials, develop its online training platform and improve the overall quality of training provided by the NLL, what is strategic priority of the library.
