Preparing students to work in the digital environment is an important responsibility of library and information science (LIS) schools. While most LIS schools offer courses or modules related to different aspects of digital information management, there are few dedicated digital library programmes in Europe. This paper discusses an action research strategy used to examine the relevance and methods of teaching/learning information and knowledge management (IKM) within the Digital Library Learning (DILL) joint international master curriculum at Tallinn University.

This chapter explores the perceptions held about “good” corporate governance (GCG) in three different transforming economies of Central and Eastern Europe [CEE] (East Germany, Estonia, and Hungary). Forty-nine interviews were conducted with corporate governance experts from various institutions in the three countries between 2003 and 2004. They were analyzed with the help of several qualitative techniques, resulting in a typology of GCG perceptions. Our findings show that these perceptions are strongly influenced by the institutional and historical background of the countries. However, they are far from being uniform or shaped along the lines of well-known Western models but take, rather, some hybrid forms. This chapter also highlights the crucial role (native) professionals and experts play in the development process of GCG.
