The aim of this thesis is to examine the usage of metaphors and language features used in the debate about the digitalization of Swedish society in a library context. The empiric material consists of 22 articles published in Biblioteksbladet from January 2020 – March 2021. The method of analyzing the material was based on Fairclough’s critical discourse analyze and Jenny Lindberg´s logics of a Catch-the-train-technological deterministic discourse (Tåget-Går-diskurs). The thesis findings showes that digitalization as phenomenon is used in a technical deterministic way in which six aspects were found valid: infrastructural, national competition oriented, user oriented, availability as access, availability as supply and a post-pandemic-oriented aspect.
