This paper discuss the main reasons behind selection criteria indigitistion and accessibility of phonogram at three departments atStatens musikverk (the Swedish performing arts agency). The threedepartments – Svenskt visarkiv (The swedish folk archive), Capricerecords and Elektronmusikstudion (center for electronic music andsound art) – are in different ways working with musical culturalheritage and the purpose is to analyze what underlying factors decidesthe selection criteria process in digitisation and accessibility of therecordings from the departments archives.At first i give some basic facts about phonogram history and nationaland international sound archives and the history of Statens musikverkand the departments, all public authorities. The emperical material, aninformant interview and e-mail interviews, and qualitative documentstudies, is discussed in relation to the theorethical framework createdby Sanna Talja.Based on Taljas perspectives, general education, alternative anddemand, and her discourses about culture and society, i discussdifferent key factors that is important in the selection criteria process,among them the conception cultural heritage, national cultural policy,quality, education, the global music industry, reserach strategies, usercategories and demand.

The purpose of this study is to describe and analyzes how the bookmobile librarians approach to purchase and selection and the range of views that may exist. The study is based on a qualitative method using a document study and three interviews included. The document study looking closely at public libraries library plans in Vastra Gotalands county. The qualitative interviews gets a closer look at librarians´approach regarding the purchase and selection and also if there are any similarities or differences between mobile library activities versus the main library.The theoretical framework is based on Sanna Taljas study where she has identified three different perspectives on the library´s music department. These are categorized as the interpretative repertoires and involves three categories of approach to quality. These are the general education repertoire, the alternative repertoire and the demand repertoire.The result of this study shows that librarians have a strong user focus when it comes to purchase and selection. They assume and takes into account all three perspectives of which the demand-driven approach seems to be the most dominant in the mobile library. The bookmobile and the main library seem to complement each other in a good way. The document study shows that mobile library activities is rarely highlighted in library plans. / Program: Bibliotekarie

The aim of this thesis is to examine how librarians are workingwith the selection and purchase of feature films in Swedish publiclibraries. I was interested in examining the underlying reasonsbehind the selections. I chose to focus on how librarians areworking and reason about the library´s film collection.The purpose of my study is to answer the following questions:• How are librarians working with selection and purchase offeature films in the public library?• What factors motivate librarians´ selection of featurefilms?• What do librarians reason about the public library filmcollection?To answer these questions I performed interviews with sevenlibrarians in five different public libraries. The results of theinterviews have been analyzed on the basis of the theories andtheoretical model of Sanna Talja. I used a translated and modifiedversion of Talja´s model in my analysis.Results showed that the economy was a factor influencing theselection and purchases of films. The accessibility to the films wasanother factor that influenced the librarians. Librarians can onlypurchase films with licenses that can be lent to borrowers.Librarians have to purchase films from the contracted sources.Most of the librarians strive to that the library should have a variedfilm collection. They buy both old films as classics but also morerecent films. Some also buy narrower films as an alternative to thecommercial films / Program: Bibliotekarie
