Throughout a dedicated website, exLibris – Digital Orient Express aims to overpass physical distances among European, Mediterranean and Middle East countries, organising contents and proposing e-books immediately available all over the world. This will lead to discover also those books which struggle to emerge and to reach a wider audience.
exLibris main goals are:
- to stimulate reading as a way of gaining knowledge and improving cultural exchange throughout the region;
- to foster translation as a tool for intercultural dialogue as well as to develop interests in different languages and cultures of the region;
- to spread the usage of high technology as an instrument to share knowledge and cultural curiosity;
- to introduce e-books in Arabic language in the editorial sector in order to make them accessible also beyond Arab countries.
After having developed the first version of the website, exLibris – Digital Orient Express is working, in cooperation with publishers (both in Europe and the Mediterranean area), in order to increase the number of publications, dedicated to the Mediterranean and the Middle East, which are already available in the e-book format.
exLibris is at the service of readers and website's visitors especially by helping them in choosing e-books according to their wishes and needs. In particular, exLibris is developing specific thematic paths to formal, non formal and informal learning as a tool to be used by educators with pupils and students.
exLibris – Digital Orient Express aims at working with members of the ALF Network making its skills and resources available to all. By establishing solid relationships, exLibris will work in cooperation with ALF members to foster shared objectives, such as improving cultural exchange and mutual knowledge. Finally, exLibris may be a solid and reliable point of reference to spread all over the region and beyond ALF Network members' publications.
As a start-up based in Italy and involved in Middle East and Mediterranean-related issues, exLibris – Digital Orient Express is looking for new partners, with whom creating productive relationships and building common synergies to achieve its goals in a shared environment.
