Open Access to scientific literature on Internet is a concept which is supposed to change librarians' work. The aim of the thesis was to examine librarians' perception of Open Access. A questionnaire survey was conducted among librarians at libraries with specialisation in technique, natural sciences, medicine and pharmacy in Sweden. Even though Open Access can be regarded as an alarming for librarians' work, the results of the survey showed that the future of the librarians' profession can be positive if they flexibly adopt their work routines according to changes in publication forms and library users' needs..

The purpose of this essay was to enhance the understanding and knowledge about phenomenon Access support. Access support means that a third person (contact person) must be present during Access visits between a child and its parent, if it is necessary for the child?s security or because the child needs support. The study was based on qualitative interviews with four contact persons and two professional social workers, whose main task have been to support and, partially, coordinate the work of contact persons. During the interviews I put the focus on participant?s experiences and thoughts about the phenomenon Access support.

To publish research articles by the means of open Access is to provide them for free to the reader. An increasing number of universities around the world have begun to institute open Access policies regarding their researchers academic output, requiring them to primarily publish in open Access journals and / or archive their pre- or post- prints in institutional archives.The aim of this this thesis is to explore how the adoption of the open Access policy at the Swedish Universi- ty of Agricultural Sciences in 2008 has affected how their researchers publish and if this has had any effect on how their academic output are cited and distributed online. To reach this goal a combination of bibliometric and altmetric methods were used as well as cross-referencing between Scopus, Altmetric.com, Google Scholar and the SHERPA/RoMEO database.The results points towards a mostly open Access positive trend with an increase in articles published in jour- nals that allow archiving of both pre- and post-prints. There also seems to be a correlation between these journals and which kind of articles gets the most mentions in social media..

This thesis aims to explore how musicologists reason about publishing their articles in open-Access journals. What is the challenge they face and what are the possibilities musicologists are concerned about? For the method I used open-ended and structured interviews based on four factors: trustworthiness, Accessibility, reaching the readers and status of the publishing media. Musicologists are positive to the open-Access concept and are willing to submit their papers to open-Access journals. They think that the Accessibility of the articles is going to increase when they publish them in open-Access journals.

This essay intends to provide an understanding of the developments in the right of public Access and recreational activities in the forests of Sweden, and which factors and prerequisites that have affected this development. The forest and its history, along with recreational development has in many ways shaped today?s rights of public Access, but there is also an age-old tradition of public Access that has affected how we have used the forest, and that also has enabled the development of outdoor recreation. Many are unaware of this, which causes misunderstanding to appear around the rights of public Access and how it is supposed to be used.The essay opens with historical descriptions of public Access, the Swedish forest and outdoor recreation, to thereby provide a picture of how these three fields have influenced each other over the centuries. This is followed by a description of the current Access rights and the problems associated with those, and a description of other countries' equivalent of the right of public Access.

Open Access has played a significant part in the development of scholarlycommunication. Today, several research funding agencies around the worldrequires that the results of the research it supports must be published openAccess where the underlying idea is that publicly funded research should befree and available to all users. The purpose of this thesis is to discuss the issueof open Access publishing from the perspective of researchers in the field ofodontology, focused on their attitudes, behaviors and publishing experienceswith open Access. Through a qualitative interview study with fiveodontological researchers, the results have been compared to previous studieson researchers' attitudes and experiences with open Access. The results showthat both knowledge and experience with open Access publishing is fairly lowamong the participating scientists.

Vårt examensarbete innebar att skapa ett system för digital lagring av trafikolyckor som inträffat i Kiruna centralort. De dataprogram vi använde oss av var ESRI Arc-view, Microsoft Access och Excel. Arbetsgång: Vi använde oss av Kiruna kommuns databas över vägnamn som via en länk kopplade ihop programmen Arc-view och Access. Alla vägnamn kommer därmed att finnas tillgängliga i Access databasen. Varje trafikolycka tilldelas ett unikt diarienummer vid inmatning i Access.

To have a tool that guides you when you work with a complex system can be helpful since the complexity of the work can be reduced. In this thesis I explore the possibilities to use a helper application whilst planning installations of Access control systems. The purpose of the application is to provide support during the planning and at the same time make the user aware of the limitations that exist in the Access control system ARX Access. By combining early user input and the theory of formativity, the result became an application written in Java..

Water is an essential factor for both people and animals, and Access to water is therefore of great importance. The water Access also largely determines the availability of food for people and feed for animals. The aim of this study was to survey the affect of water Access on milk production from dairy animals. The study included nineteen farm visits that were made in the Nyando district in Kenya between February and Mars 2011. Farm visits included interviews with questions about for example number of dairy animals, milk production, water Access, feed and water routines.

This thesis deals with tactics for information seeking in electronic databases. An important aspect is knowledge of the relative value of different subject Access points. The method used here is literature studies. Nineteen empirical studies are described and analysed with the purpose to compare the relative value of different subject Access points. The studies examined compare the relative value of subject Access points in relation to each other or in relation to different scientific disciplines.

Uppsala universitet The aim of this master?s thesis is to investigate, through text analysis, the role of copyright in development, with particular interest of how the concepts knowledge and Access to knowledge are used in Access to Knowledge Draft Treaty and WIPO Development Agenda. The definition of the concept knowledge, as it is used in copyright, is based in a Western historical and philosophical context and therefore excludes knowledge created in another type of society. The consequences of this exclusion have effects on development. Further it is stated that knowledge according to the global copyright scheme will be reduced to a commodity, which will have consequences not only in societies in the global South.

Self-archiving as a way to provide open Access to research publications is gaining ground in the area of scholarly publishing. An increasing number of research funders and universities are mandating open Access for output associated with their research, which calls for evaluation of the effects of the phenomenon.This two years master?s thesis aims to investigate researchers? experiences of self-archiving. A qualitative web survey was conducted and answered by 41 researchers from several different countries, and a vast majority of the respondents concur with the principle of open Access. Although self-archiving shows not to be a guarantee of increased impact for the single researcher, the study shows that might be the case.
