The following thesis will examine how a smaller library manages the prioritization of media between Swedish and 'minority language'. We are also interested in the challenges and problems that can occur in such work, as well as how the librarians think about their role in the integration process. We have studied this through several qualitative interviews with librarians as well as earlier related research. The results show that librarians display a high propensity of appreciation related to working with minority languages and consider this an important aspect of their profession – they fully ingratiate and accept the importance of helping the immigrant population in learning Swedish. However, our study also discovers several organizational problems that hinder this work, which mainly relate to a lack of funds and other issues related to resource inefficiency. The conclusion states the awareness and importance of providing media in minority languages, but is hindered by flaws in the systems surrounding the organization of public libraries.

The two writers who wrote this paper are two students from Malmö University. We are studying to become primary school teachers. Our interest in the topic came mostly through our experience of digital storytelling and pupils' motivation in our schools where we have our internship. This paper is based on ten different studies about digital storytelling and the focus throughout the paper is to answer the following question: what kind of impact does digital storytelling have on pupils' motivation? Some keywords are important throughout the paper. These are digital storytelling, motivation, self-esteem, writing skills and language management. There have been field studies regarding digital storytelling within education and they are mostly based on groups between 22-30 pupils around the age of five to eleven years old. The purpose of the studies was to see if pupils’ motivation has increased. How long did the pupils devote themselves to write a story? The research resulted in up to three conclusions. The pupils seemed to become more motivated and could concentrate longer on the assignment by digital storytelling. They also improved their language skills and their writing abilities due to higher self-esteem and the novelty of using digital devices. If every teacher used digital storytelling, pupils might have better writing and language skills in all subjects.
