The aim of this bachelor thesis is to explore how librarians in public schools in Sweden works with the informations literacy of their pupils. The study is done with semistructured interviews conducted with seven school librarians and with help from previous research done on this subject. Focus is also put to the relationship between teacher and librarian when educating elemantary school student about informationseeking and proper source critisism. We also take a further stand by examing how the librarians worked with the digital literacy of their students and what their main challenges and problems are when they are teaching students about searching for informations online. The thesis are built upon the research of Louise Limberg and Lena Folkesson, among others in this field. Our results show that the school librarians struggled. to a large degree with collaborating with the teachers. According to our interviewess they often have to be very asservite in order to schedule lessons in information seeking. There also seemed to be an uncertainty among the teachers as to what the school librarians role in the education system is. The interviewed librarians also found the decreasing ability of information seeking among the students to be a problem in their work.
