Despite of all these steps, the situation is not acceptable.
“Coming from a low-performance background, Lithuania has moved into being a mid-level performer in some regards, but is still in the low end in most indicators.”Annual Report 2007 on EU i2010 Strategy
Why?
Many strengths and attention are paid to “supply” side, too less – to “demand” side.

Key tasks
• Equipping all the perspective and yet non-informatized public libraries with public Internet access, and expanding and modernizing public Internet access in the libraries already having it
• Strengthening, in essence, information competence of public libraries’ staff and helping them to become active promoters and helpers of the local community in mastering the possibilities of information technologies
