The situation in Germany in 1999 was comparable with the current situation in Poland. As a reaction to this, the Bertelsmann Foundation initiated an online course offer comprising three modules: \u201cBIBWEB \u2013 internet training for libraries\u201d (see <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" ext-link-type=\"uri\" xlink:href=\"http:\/\/www.bibweb.de\">www.bibweb.de<\/jats:ext-link>), 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 \u201cElektroniczna Biblioteka\u201d (EBIB) library information service, have jointly developed such a Polish\u2010language online course (see <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" ext-link-type=\"uri\" xlink:href=\"http:\/\/www.bibweb.pl\">www.bibweb.pl<\/jats:ext-link>) and have offered it on the internet to the specialist target group since 2003.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>This paper shows the benefits of an international educational project.
