Då och nu på biblioteket : Bibliotekariers förändrade yrkesroll / Past and Present : Changes in the role of librariansForsberg, Gunnel, Johansson, Tove January 2014 (has links)
In this Bachelor thesis, we examine how the work of the librarian has changed over the past three decades. The research questions focus on the changes in librarians´ roles and working tasks regarding factors like technique, meetings between librarians and visitors and also how to give service to visitors. We have conducted interviews with librarians at university libraries as well as public libraries. In all, there were four interviews. We have also compared the two types of libraries. We have looked closely at these factors: the tasks of the librarians, the skills needed, how the library has been used as a democratic arena, and what kinds of meetings there are among librarians and users of the library. From these themes we have created interview questions, and our analysis is structured according to the themes. We have worked from a theory on different kinds of identities within the profession. This theory is based on the works of Trine Schreiber and Anders Ørom who both are researchers in the discipline. Our conclusion, based on the interviews and also on previous research, is that earlier identified identities can be completed also with a role/identity that can be linked to a need of educating visitors, and a role/identity that regards marketing, i.e. to inform people about the library, its services and activities.

Funktion und Leistung einer Forschungsbibliothek : die Bibliothek für Bildungsgeschichtliche Forschung des Deutschen Instituts für Internationale Pädagogische Forschung im Kontext der Historischen Bildungsforschung / Function and services of the Bibliothek fuer Bildungsgeschichtliche Forschung des Deutschen Instituts fuer Internationale Paedagogische ForschungRitzi, Christian January 2006 (has links)
Die kumulative Dissertation umfasst dreizehn Beiträge, die zwischen 1994 und 2006 aus je aktuellen Forschungszusammenhängen entstanden sind und in unterschiedlichen Zeitschriften und Sammelwerken publiziert wurden. Sie widmen sich Funktion und Leistung der Bibliothek für Bildungsgeschichtliche Forschung (BBF) als bildungshistorischer Forschungsbibliothek, die in einer Einleitung entlang einer professionstheoretischen Fragestellung systematisch eingeordnet werden. Beiträge und Einleitung gehen zum einen auf die Bestandsgeschichte der Vorgängereinrichtungen der BBF ein, die als Gebrauchsbibliotheken insbesondere eine institutionelle Grundlage zur Verberuflichung und Professionalisierung der Lehrer bildeten. Zum anderen widmen sie sich neueren Angeboten der 1992 in eine Forschungsbibliothek umgewandelten Einrichtung, die sich besonders an dem Bedarf des veränderten Adressatenkreises orientieren. Es handelt sich um Dienstleistungen, die einerseits dem Kontext einer digitalen Bibliothek zuzuordnen sind, andererseits das Konzept einer Forschungsbibliothek zu einer Forschungsstätte erweitern, mit der Aufgabe, zur Unterstützung des interdisziplinären und internationalen Diskurses der an Themen zur historischen Bildungsforschung arbeitenden Science Community beizutragen. / The cumulative dissertation comprises thirteen contributions resulting from respective research contexts that were up to date at the time, that is from 1994 to 2006, and that were published in different journals and collective works. They are concerned with the function and services of the Bibliothek für Bildungsgeschichtliche Forschung (BBF) as a library for research in the history of education, and they are categorised systematically along a profession- theoretical question in the introduction. On the one hand, the contributions and the introduction address the historical development of the library stock in terms of its predecessors which, as practical user libraries, particularly served as an institutional basis for the purpose of teacher training and teacher proficiency. On the other hand, they refer to more recent offerings provided by the library, which was transformed into a research institution in 1992, i.e. services that are particularly oriented towards the needs of an altered target group. These services pertain to the context of digital libraries on the one hand, while on the other hand they extend the concept of a research library to a research institution that serves the task of contributing to the support of an interdisciplinary and international discourse among the science community of those working in historical educational research.

Communities, innovation, and critical mass : understanding the impact of digitization on scholarship in the humanities through the case of Tibetan and Himalayan studiesMadsen, Christine McCarthy January 2010 (has links)
The dominant discourse surrounding academic research libraries today is one of change and scholarship in the humanities has seen a similar revolution in practice. Yet, most of the documented changes in either have been ascribed to the availability of online journal materials. Despite the accessibility of millions of rare, digitized primary resources freely available on the web, little has been done to understand the impact of these materials on either the practice of scholarship or on libraries. The research described in this proposal is an investigation into digitization projects involving rare and closely guarded materials and the effects of these projects on humanities scholarship. This thesis uses both qualitative and quantitative measures to: Assess the impact of digitized primary resources on the work of humanities scholars; To construct a model based on the findings that explains current use of digitized primary sources; and, To discuss the implications of these findings for academic research libraries. The research questions are answered through a detailed analysis of the role of digitization in the field of Tibetan and Himalayan studies. The author presents detailed evidence of how digitization is changing the inputs, practice, and outputs of scholarship in this field, as well as the characteristics of digitization that have led to these changes. Importantly, these findings separate out the success of individual projects from the success of digitization across the field as a whole. Support for community and innovation as well as the presence of critical mass across the field are stressed as the three most significant factors. Finally, the implications of these findings are assessed within a newly proposed model of academic libraries. This “scholar-centric” model is intended to provide both a theoretical framework for the research findings as well as a normative provocation for structuring future research and discussions about the role of academic libraries and their presence online.

Forskningsbibliotekarier och öppen vetenskap : En kvalitativ studie om forskningsbibliotekariers kompetenser och strategier relaterade till öppen vetenskap / Research Librarians and Open Science : A Qualitative Study of Research Librarians Competencies and Strategies related to Open ScienceLarsson, Helena January 2022 (has links)
The purpose of this study is through the research librarians, to shed light on their perceptions, competencies and strategies related to open science at the Swedish research libraries. The transition to open science is ongoing nationally and globally and research librarians at research libraries at universities have extensive knowledge while constantly facing major challenges in the field which develops their competencies and strategies in open science. A valuable aspect in order to develop open science for the future is studying the individuals behind. Semi-structured interviews with five research librarians at two main research libraries at two stateowned Swedish universities were conducted, and the interviews were analyzed thematically. The theory of fenomenology is applied to the study for the purpose of throughly examine every individual – every research librarians perceptions, competencies and strategies related to open science. The analysis maps the empirical material and a selection of previous ones research on librarians and open science to put the study in a relevant context. Also the empirical material helps to identify the possibilities for the development of open science for the future. The study identifies several areas of interest. The results show that Swedish research librarians perceive open science as comprehensive, with many different challenges, unclear and transparent – overall open science is complex. Research librarians acquire skills in open science, primarily when they collaborate, read as well as when they apply open science. The open science strategies that are particularly prominent are partly the work with research support, partly the strategic work. The prerequisite for the development of open science is the human aspect in the life world of research librarians. Findings reveal that research librarians mainly educate themselves in open science. The prerequisite for selfeducation and to develop strategies is their driving force. The study also show that Swedish research librarians have a potential to influence the development of open science. It is important to highlight that open science needs to be supported and developed within the research community so that open science becomes a natural part of contemporary and future research culture. In the unstable situation of the world in times of permacrisis, it is even more urgent to share research. Open science can provide opportunities to change human rights such as equality, democracy, social development, climate and health for the better – naionally and globally. This is a two-year master´s thesis in Library and Information Science.

Cultural politics of user-generated encyclopaedias : comparing Chinese Wikipedia and Baidu BaikeLiao, Han-Teng January 2015 (has links)
The question of how the Internet affects existing geo-cultural or geo-linguistic communities in relation to nation-states has continued to receive attention among academics and policymakers alike. Language-based technologies and services that aggregate, index, and distribute materials online may reshape pre-existing boundaries of the relationship between users and content, for instance with different language versions of user-generated encyclopaedias or different local versions of search engines. By comparing two major Chinese online encyclopaedias, Baidu Baike and Chinese Wikipedia, this thesis investigates whether the Internet overcomes, shifts, or reinforces boundaries among Chinese language users. The Chinese language provides an excellent case for examining the boundary question. While the Internet can potentially connect the largest number of native speakers around the world, the majority (i.e. those from mainland China) face an Internet censorship and filtering regime that may limit this very potential. Modern Chinese history has also complicated the cultural-political boundaries among the regions of mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. This thesis compares the conditions and outcomes of their respective editorial processes, content features, and users’ reception. Multiple findings emerge from a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, including content analysis, webometrics, and search engine result visibility tests. These methods show that boundaries are drawn in the process of creating, linking, and searching content on the Chinese Internet. Their geolinguistic extent differs, a phenomenon that reflects the cultural-political division between mainland China and the rest of Chinese-speaking world. Both the findings and methods of the thesis have important implications for research and policy for understanding the globalizing regionalization and nationalization effects of the Internet.

Forskningsbiblioteket som mötesplats : En ny sida av forskningsbibliotekets uppdrag? / The Research Library as a Meeting Place : A New Aspect of the Research Library?Enberg, Jonas, Lamb, Anna Fiona January 2011 (has links)
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how the research library of Linnæus University is used by students as a meeting place. Building upon Putnam's theory of bonding and bridging social capital and Audunson's conception of high and low intensive meeting places, it aims to explore the research library's potential for creating social capital and thus strengthening both learning and democracy in a university context. Borrowing part of the survey design from a study conducted as part of the Norwegian PLACE project, this study collects responses from 134 students as to their use of the library as a meeting place. The results show that the Linnæus University library is used for a variety of meetings of both high and low intensity, why it should provide a good setting for the creation of social capital. There seems to be a connection between how often one visits the library, as well as to which department one belongs, and how one uses the library as a meeting place. The thesis concludes that the research library may aid the creation of social capital and that emphasizing this role would benefit both learning and democracy.
