IT – naučna fantastika ili i moji baka i deka koriste računar
IT 65 + my granny and grandpa use computer too

Summary/Abstract: In April 2010, Belgrade City Library BCL Serbia introduced the project “65+” to reach a notable group of patrons who were not receiving services. The project was intended for citizens over 65 and included a new category of free permanent membership, followed by free computer literacy courses and a book “IT for beginners: practicum for 65+” for each trainee. The first course was held in June 2010. Inspired by initial success, librarian-held courses were launched in September at “Đorđe Jovanović” municipal library, one of BCL’s branches. We achieved great success as the only public library system in the country to have this type of membership and course offerings. The program spread to 50% of the BCL network, 3662 new 65+ members joined, and 611 IT course certificates were awarded. Our new members now come to the library more often and use online resources for information and correspondence with their friends and family worldwide. Belgrade City Library will build on its success in reaching underserved patrons and will continue the project in future years…
