Role of Libraries as key agents of change in European e-inclusion ContextJānis Ziediņš
Libraries in Latvia serve as key agents of change by promoting e-inclusion. There are over 1,000 libraries in Latvia serving a population of 2.27 million people. Libraries have digitized collections and provide access to digital resources through an integrated online portal. The portal allows users to search library collections, cultural websites, and museums across Latvia. It also gives librarians a way to promote programs and events and add local content. The goal is for libraries to become community centers that provide access to information, knowledge, innovation, and socialization.
Expansion and improvement of user access to servicesJānis Ziediņš
The document summarizes improvements to a library portal that provides integrated access to library services and cultural resources. The updated portal allows users to search over 1 million library items, 350,000 museum items, and 15,000 cultural web pages. It enables librarians to manage local content and discussions while providing training materials. End users can access full information on Latvian libraries, search library and museum collections, join discussions, and access training materials through a personalized "My library" page.
Evaluation of end user services offered through the webJānis Ziediņš
The document discusses methods for evaluating end user services offered through websites. It recommends evaluating usability before, during, and after the design process. Both qualitative user research methods like focus groups, interviews, and observations as well as quantitative analytics of log file data should be used. Evaluations should understand user needs and satisfaction, identify problem areas, and compare the site to guidelines and other exemplar websites to improve the user experience.

KulturasKarte.lv is a project to provide detailed information about Latvia's cultural landscape through an online portal and map. The first stage involved inputting data on around 8,000 cultural institutions and 2,500 pictures. The second stage aims to expand the database with additional social and economic indicators, include more cultural sectors like creative industries, and improve usability and data quality. The second stage is being realized by SA “Culture information systems” and the Ministry of Culture.
