Detta arbete undersöker hur den så kallade minoritetsreformen, som kom 2010, har påverkat arbetet med material på samiska på Umeå stadsbibliotek. För att ta reda på detta har vi använt oss av kvalitativa intervjuer med bibliotekarier på stadsbiblioteket och Samernas bibliotek samt en representant för Umeå kultur. Intervjuerna visade på ett antal utmaningar och svårigheter i detta arbete, framförallt knutet till beståndsutveckling och förvärv samt synliggörandet av den samiska litteraturen. Analysen förhåller sig till och bygger vidare på tidigare studier som berör de svenska bibliotekens arbete med de nationella minoriteterna och minoritetsspråken. Det som framförallt framgår i såväl intervjuerna som källmaterialet är ett tydligt behov av utrymme och resurser för arbetet samt material som tilltalar de tänkta användarna.

In this master thesis, I investigate four Public Librarys´ program activities. The purpose is to explore what the library program activities contribute to as a part of a well functioning democracy. The theoretical points, I have brought from political science. I assume three different ideals of democracy; electoral democracy, participation democracy and deliberative democracy. All have different views on what can be characterized by a well-functioning democracy.My empirical material consists of library program guides, the libraries´ target documents and interviews with staff at the libraries who work with or have overall responsibility for program activities in their respective libraries.

This thesis addresses the library environment and how it affects the accessibility for the library users. A study is made of the public library in Eslöv. We wanted to find out how the library staff, the senior librarian and the architect discuss the library environment, considering:? The accessibility for the library users.? The possibility for the users to orientate themselves in the library.We also wanted to see how we as users experience the library environment and compare these experiences with the results from the interviews. The material used consists of qualitative interviews, observations of users and our own experience studies.

The purpose of this master's thesis is to describe and analyse the origin and development of the libraries in the town of Värnamo, between the years 1908 and 1960, when a new modern public library was inaugurated. The method I have used is, to a great extent, examining and analysing source material from the archive of the municipality in Värnamo and the popular movement in Jönköping. As a background to my study I describe the development of the Swedish society, from the end of the nineteenth-, until the middle of the twentieth century. I also describe the local development of Värnamo, during the same period. Furthermore I also give a general description of the progress of the libraries in Sweden during the same time.

Denna studie unders?ker vilka regler som finns vid m?ltidssituationen p? olika f?rskolor, vad de grundar sig i samt pedagogers uppfattningar kring dessa och hur makt anv?nds f?r att uppr?tth?lla eller f?r?ndra reglerna kring m?ltidssituationen. I styrdokument som ?L?roplan f?r f?rskolan? (Lpf?18, 2018) saknas riktlinjer f?r m?ltidssituationer vilket kan leda till os?kerhet kring hur de kan se ut. ?r reglerna outtalade och grundade i f?rskoll?rarens egna uppfattningar och normer eller gemensamt best?mda i f?rskolan? Genom en kvalitativ unders?kning med fr?gelista som metod visar resultatet att reglerna varierar fr?n f?rskola till f?rskola och att de innefattar b?de hur barnen f?r bete sig, vad som ska ligga p? tallriken, att det m?ste smakas och att barnen m?ste v?nta p? varandra innan de f?r g? fr?n matbordet.

The aim of our study is to gain understanding of how parentsperceive their own, the preschool's, and the library's efforts to stimulate preschoolers' enjoyment and yearning to read, as well as what types of collaborative efforts the parents seek.The study is based upon qualitative interviews with parents, both mothers and fathers, to preschool children (aged 1.5 to 6 years old). The analysis does not offer any generalizations. We have chosen to use a sociocultural perspective as the theoretical starting-point of our study, our thoughts being that we learn together with and by the help of others. We consider this perspective to be closely related to Aidan Chambers's "The Reading Circle", which we have chosen to use as our tool of analysis.It turned out that the parents perceived their own reading stimulating role as crucial, even if they did not consider all they did as reading stimulative. Some things, such as discussing the book while reading, occurred naturally but is also an important part to stimulate reading.

V?rt syfte med detta examensarbete ?r att unders?ka l?rarrollens betydelse f?r alla barns inkludering i montessoriverksamhet.

Eftersom Maria Montessoris metod uppkom efter att hon studerat just barn som var i behov av st?d blev detta extra intressant att unders?ka. V?r studie ?r kvalitativ och den utg?r fr?n en hermeneutisk ansats.

The aim of this Masters thesis is to examine how the images of librarians are conceived and held by the public. It has often been claimed that librarians are subject to widely spread negative stereotyping. My purpose is to study the nature and origin of these stereotypes. Since popular media is one source of these stereotypes and images I have chosen to look into how librarians are characterized in 20 Swedish novels written between 1982-2002. The questions this thesis aims to answer are: What images of librarians occur in the novels? How are the tasks of the librarians respectively described in the novels? How are female and male librarians respectively described? The analysis of the novels is then compared with interviews with three professional librarians about their view of their professional role and their perceptions of its status and image.

Vi riktar detta arbete till människor som i sin profession kommer i kontakt med individer som har neuropsykiatriskt funktionshinder. De som företrädesvis har hjälp av rapporten är de som jobbar inom områden som berör samtal och vägledning. Vi har intervjuat sju personer som har neuropsykiatriska diagnoser och två personer som jobbar professionellt med samtal och vägledning av neuropsykiatriskt funktionshindrade. Vi har även använt egen relevant litteratur, obligatorisk kurslitteratur, manuell sökning av lämplig litteratur på bibliotek i Vetlanda, Tranås och Ydre samt sökt lämpligt materiel via Internet, vi har även talat med personer som är berörda av vårt ämne. I vårt resultat kom vi fram till att personer med neuropsykiatriska funktionshinder behöver bestämda ramar, konkreta och tydliga mål som är nåbara, samt relevant information som är förklarande i sitt sammanhang.

This master thesis is about access to literature translated into Swedish sign language for deaf at the public libraries. It is by now a well-known fact that there is produced very little literature in sign language for deaf. This is so even though the policies for the library nationally and internationally, and the public law for libraries in Sweden says there should be literature available for all groups of disadvantaged people. People who have problem reading ordinary ink books have the right to get the book adapted into a medium accessible for them. The goal of the Swedish law for disadvantaged says that in 2010 Sweden should be accessible for all irrespective of weather you are deaf or not.

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how structural changes are depicted as well as formally brought about in the documents of rule and regulation of Uppsala University and Uppsala University Library the years 1999?2013. Beside the documents of rule and regulation, also documents that is commenting on (or in other ways relates to) these are investigated. The study is based both in organizational theory and modern rhetorical theory. The results show that the University to a certain extent gained an increased possibility to micromanage the library?s working routines during the time span covered and the study traces the consequences this had on the library organization and reactions it evoked among the leaders and representatives of the library staffThis raised a debate between representatives from the University library and its mother organization, the University, regarding at which level in the whole organization decisions regarding the library?s forms of funding and everyday praxis.
