This bachelor thesis explores the work among the ”V8-libraries”, with focus on the librarians that works within the collaboration to see how it’s perceived. The questions asked are: How does the communication between the libraries work? How does the leadership look like? What benefits and what challenges does the collaboration come with? For the theoretical framework, Jennifer Rowleys theory of innovation collaboration strategies for libraries has been used. The method has been qualitative interviews with three informants that works within the collaboration. The study’s conclusion is that the V8-libraries have great communication and a leadership that serves the needs of the collaboration. The two biggest benefit is for the users of the libraries since they receive a greater range of books and other media, and also for the librarians since the collaboration makes bigger staff with bigger competence. The big challenge in the collaboration is the great distances between the libraries since the librarians wish to visit each other more often to discuss greater innovations between them.
