The paper examines three Master's programmes in digital libraries: Digital Library Learning (Oslo, Tallin, Parma), Digital Library and Information Services and Digital Services - Culture, Information and Communication (Borås). The author uses her direct experience of developing one of the programmes, collaborating with another and evaluating the third, for comparison of their conceptual basis, goals, curricula, student's admission and study process, teachers' experience, and several aspects of the students satisfaction.
