This report summarises a project underscoring the critical role of America's museums and libraries in helping citizens to build 21st century skills such as information, communications and technology literacy, critical thinking, problem solving, creativity, civic literacy and global awareness.
The report includes case studies of innovative audience engagement projects involving 21st century skills and practices from across the US. There are two more components:
- The Self-Assessment Tool: the tool included in this report allows museums and libraries to determine where they fit on the continuum of operating and programming 21st century skills.
- The Online Self-Assessment: this brief interactive survey quickly analyses an institution’s strategies and describes next steps for action.
