Abstract
This article describes important role of e-learning in Poland and cover experiences in transferring and localising the course, know-how about how to find strategic partners and establish a sound infrastructure for e-learning and guidelines how to get and use feedback from the learners to continuously improve the quality of the course. The article describes the situation in Polish library world and the process of implementation and conducting the online course for librarians “bibweb”. It also relates how the course improves information literacy.
Libraries in Poland can considerably strengthen their role as an element of the information and knowledge society by expanding their offers regarding Internet access and e-learning. The situation in Germany in 1999 was comparable to the current situation in Poland. As a reaction to this, the Bertelsmann Foundation initiated an online course offer comprising three modules: “bibweb – Internet training for libraries” (online at www.bibweb.de), which met with great acceptance in Germany. For this reason, it made sense to translate the existing successful course product and adapt it to the special requirements of libraries in Poland. The Bertelsmann Foundation and its two project partners, the Warsaw University Library and the “Elektroniczna Biblioteka” (EBIB) library information service have jointly developed such a Polish-language online course (www.bibweb.pl) and offer it on the Internet to the specialist target group since 2003.
