Abstract
Digital curation education is a new subject where the convergence between libraries, archives, museums and computer science seems to build an interdisciplinary bridge, with common competences needed by present and future professionals. The study methodology is based on: the literature review, on the proceedings of the Puerto Rico Conference organised by IFLA on “Education for Digital Curation” and on the findings of a Delphi study which has been done for a Thesis of the International Master DILL. Issues and problematic areas for further study and discussions are evidenced.
