This thesis is based on an investigation to find out in what way 40 Swedish public librarieskeep and preserve their library materials. The investigation is based on inquiries sent outto the libraries. It deals with the keeping of books with regard to external factors which havedestructive effects on library materials as well as the safety at the library buildings. It is, aswell, about the preserving work being done at the libraries.Comparisons are made with literature and accounts about preserving measures and recommendationsregarding appropriate environment in premises and depositories. The resultsshow great differences between the libraries as to the library environment, i.e. from payingattention to the factors and taking measures to taking no measures at all. The safety concerningtheft and fire varies as well.Most of the libraries have old and/or special collections. Nearly all the libraries do simplerepairing themselves, while over half the number, in addition, apply to special firms for bindingor more advanced restoring work. Topicality, currency and the last volume are essentialcriteria of book preservation. There is an urgency to preserve local collections and valuableold materials as well.

This paper aims to analyze how preservation of and access to old and rare book collections are organized in public libraries in Serbia. The paper is based on an analysis of documents, a survey and qualitative interviews with librarians in Belgrade and Novi Sad. Serbia is a country that has experienced violent historical periods with far-reaching consequences for its old and rare book collections. The interpretative background refers to documents about cultural policy in Europe and in Serbia. Serbia is a country in transition which aims to join the European Union. As a consequence, the government has an ambition to harmonize its legislation and cultural policy to EU standards. Old and rare book collections are primarily preserved at the National Library of Serbia, at the Belgrade University Library and at the Matica Srpska Library in Novi Sad. In addition to this, the Serbian Orthodox Patriarchate Library in Belgrade has many old and rare books and manuscripts, but it is not userfriendly. Digitization is a method used to both preserve and make accessible old and rare books, but it is still developed only to a limited degree. The National Library of Serbia is the pioneer of digitization in the country and it is the institution vested with responsibility for the preservation of cultural goods. The National Library has the ambition to become a portal of cultural heritage in the country. The paper concludes that the historical, political and cultural development in the country in a decisive way has influenced Serbia’s different book collections. / Program: Bibliotekarie

Digitizing and digital libraries create great opportunities toprovide access to cultural heritage globally, but the quicklychanging information technology environment also raises manyquestions. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to analyse whatvisions and ideas behind one specific digital library, Europeana,that can be found in documentation related to the project. Whatideas can be identified concerning aspects such as userparticipation, access to information, knowledge andinformation literacy? What is the project’s role in relation toeducation, preservation of cultural heritage and democracy?The method used to answer these research questions is adescriptive idea analysis. The empirical material, consisting ofprimary sources written in relation to the project, has beencategorized within dimensions and analysed according toDouglas Raber’s three public library strategies: social activism,the conservative response and the populist initiative. Thefindings of this study are that social activism is the dominatingstrategy, including aims as to support social inclusion, promotecultural diversity and help democratize access to information.Another present strategy is the populist initiative, concerningthe will to keep up with changing user needs and online trends.The conservative response can be identified, but barely. Thereare good possibilities for the future development of this project,even if some contradictions can be found concerning thevisions in relation to financial, juridical and politicalrestrictions. Important problem areas such as the unevenparticipation of different member countries, copyrightrestrictions and diverse user needs, must be addressed also inthe future. / Program: Bibliotekarie

The purpose of this Bachelor’s thesis is twofold. Firstly it aims to make a contribution to the understanding of how five Swedish Diocesan libraries have carried out the digitizing of their rare book and manuscript collections. Problem areas related to this activity are also investigated. Secondly, it aims to examine the relative guidelines and standardization norms, which have been formulated on a national basis. The research questions posed are:Which problem areas connected to the digitizing activities carried out at the Diocesan libraries can be identified in the empirical material?Which possible discrepancies might be found comparing the digitizing activity at the Diocesan libraries and the guiding principles on a national level?In order to find answers to the research questions, interviews with six librarians at the Diocesan libraries were conducted. Furthermore, using the method of content analysis, the interviews, literature, previous research, reports and in-house documents were examined. The theoretical framework used is a triangular model formulated by the museologist, Ivo Maroević, indicating the relationship between the institutions of cultural heritage: archives, libraries and museums. The particularity of the collections of the Diocesan libraries places them in the middle of the triangle.The most important problem areas were found to be connected with: economical and personnel resources, outsourcing and open access, preservation, storage, and the national strategy for digitization. The major discrepancy with national recommendations consists in the differences of the digitization process at the Diocesan libraries, depending on whether it is related to a project or on demand. / Program: Bibliotekarie

Sammandrag Att organisationer lär är ofta en förutsättning för att nå goda resultat. Viktigt för lärandet är att kunna bevara sin kompetens och utveckla den. Genom att forma en lärande organisation är detta möjligt. Med finanskrisen 2008 och den rådande lågkonjunkturen har många organisationer varit tvungna till stora nedskärningar. Detta gäller inte minst flygbolaget SAS. Därför vill jag med denna uppsats undersöka hur SAS arbetat för att bevara sina nödvändiga kompetenser trots stora nedskärningar i personalstyrkan. Teorierna jag använder som grund för att sedan analysera mitt empiriska material är framför allt Senges teorier om de fem grundläggande disciplinerna i den lärande organisationen. Genom att relatera personligt mästerskap, gemensamma visioner, tankemodeller och teamlärande till ett systemtänkande menar Senge att man kan vara en lärande organisation. Genom fyra stycken kvalitativa intervjuer med olika avdelningschefer och en med en person som utformar SAS egen ledarskapsutbildning, har jag kunnat identifiera ett flertal metoder såsom organisationstillpassning, job-reduction, resultatplaner och kompetensutveckling. Vad jag dock i sken av teorierna kring lärande organisationer kunnat konstatera är att SAS eventuellt kunde göra metoderna effektivare.

This is a qualitative essay that has its starting point in the deindustrialized community in the county of Kalmar. At the time deindustrialization started, the globalization and the technical development took form, this resulted in increasing traveling in the world. The communities that had lost their industries had to find new ways of surviving. The politicians used the increasing travelling and tourism and saw a new industry in the tourism, therefore they made cultural heritage visible. Main focus lies in the will from politicians to visualize cultural heritage for economic gain and the administration of cultural heritage that in essence had to accept a new use of the cultural heritage. The studied organizations are regionförbundet and länsstyrelsen in the county of Kalmar. The questions are focused on the powers behind the visualization and who the responsible are. How regionförbundet and länsstyrelsen balance the development and preserve the cultural heritage in tourism industry. The last question grasps how the visualization affects the cultural heritages and how the cultural heritages are prioritized in the county of Kalmar. I´ve done a literature study and interviewed the concerned organizations. My conclusion is that the will of national politicians of visualizing cultural heritage affects the politicians of the county in Kalmar. Regionförbundet sees the cultural heritage as educational, for teaching the inhabitants about their history, and länsstyrelsen is working with preservation, both organizations work from the visions from “nationella kulturpolitiska målen” (Kulturplan 2012-2014; kultur med nya ögon; Tedenlind 2011-12-19; Thorstensson 2011-12-21). The cultural heritages are affected by the visualization, their meaning are changing because of a hybridization that are one effect of the globalization. Another important effect is a changed use that involves an increased and more intense usage of the cultural heritages.

Denna uppsats fokuserar på människans subjektiva verklighetsuppfattning kring skogsmiljöer, utifrån ett fenomenologiskt perspektiv. Från olika aktörers livsvärldar har relationen till begrepp som natur, kultur, kulturmiljöer och kulturmiljövård studerats, liksom hur aktörernas förhållande till detta i sin tur påverkar vad som anses vara bevarandevärt. För att genomföra detta har intervjuer utförts med aktörer i anknytning med projektet Skog och Historia eller skogsbruk på såväl central, regional som lokal nivå. Utifrån detta har aktörernas begreppstolkningar interpreterats till att kulturen är den tolkning som var och en av aktörerna gör. Detta resulterar i att kulturbevarandet påverkas subjektivt, vilket i sin tur kan komma att påverka livsvärlden.
