The integration of technological solutions developed within the SHIFT project: MetamorphoSis of cultural Heritage Into augmented hypermedia assets For enhanced accessibility and inclusion at the operational level of the National Association of Public Librarians and Libraries in Romania (ANBPR) represents a pioneering model for other cultural NGOs, providing examples of good practices for the cultural and creative industries sector. By facilitating the implementation of these solutions at the level of member libraries, ANBPR aims to create more inclusive and attractive services, especially for vulnerable groups. ANBPR aims to leverage the technological advances developed within the SHIFT project, funded under the Horizon 2021-2027 programme, to improve its organisational services and stimulate innovation in its member libraries. This approach aligns with ANBPR’s broader strategic objective of modernising public libraries through digital transformation, improving accessibility and increasing user interaction and pro-activity. This article focuses on exploring new ways to exploit the results of the SHIFT project, which will stimulate the development of accessibility services, bringing people with disabilities closer to cultural resources, through more equitable and immersive access. In addition, the author will reflect in this article how ANBPR intends to revitalise cultural heritage collections in at least ten member libraries, using SHIFT methodologies to increase engagement and encourage loyalty of the digital native public in relation to the current cultural offerings of libraries. Beyond the multi-stage technology adoption, ANBPR is committed to strengthening inter-institutional partnerships, promoting exchanges of good practices and setting new service standards in collaboration with cultural and creative institutions.
