Jag har valt att studera hur valet av barnlitteratur ser ut på tre förskolor. Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka hur barnlitteraturen kommer till förskolan. Den väg som jag inriktat mig på är pedagoger på förskolor som är verksamma som läsinspiratörer via biblioteket. Jag undersöker hur de påverkar urvalet av böcker som finns för barnen på förskolan. Genom att undersöka vägen som litteraturen tar innan den hamnar på förskolan vill jag synliggöra valet som biblioteket och pedagogerna gör av böcker och se hur anpassad litteratururvalet blir till barnen.

Som avslutande del i högskoleingenjörsutbildningar ingår ofta ett examensarbete. Denna rapport behandlar ett examensarbete som utförts för avdelningen för datorkommunikation och datalogi vid Luleå Tekniska Universitet. Avdelningen för datorkommunikation och datalogi har sedan tidigare använt sig av ett webbaserat system för hantering av BibTeX-databaser. Systemet var skrivet i Perl och bestod av tre skript och ett BibTeX-bibliotek. Med senare versioner av Perl och användandet av BibTeX-biblioteket uppstod vissa problem, den nya versionen av Perl var inte längre kompatibelt med BibTeX- biblioteket.

The essay deals with adult education from a local perspective more specifically that ofthe IOGT lodge Leon Garnbetta in Varberg. The material that has been used covers a limited period of time, which stretches from 1883 to 1926.This temperance lodge was founded in 1883 and is still active. The essay provides a historical survey of the temperance movement in Sweden and depicts the ideas behind adult educa­tion, but it also gives a more general historical account of the town of Varberg and its popu­lar movements.By studying handwritten records from the lodge it is possible to establish a picture of its work, activities, discussions, its striving for democracy, educational activities and the principles behind these and finally the lodge's own library which was started at an early stage. All these aspects are then treated in a historical and a political context..

Denna uppsats är en intervjustudie där fem musiklärare på högstadiet beskriver och reflekterar kring sin undervisning där digitala verktyg har använts i samband med musikskapande eller inspelning. Studien tar även upp de problem och fördelar med digitala verktyg som lärarna berättar att de har upplevt i samband med undervisningen.Resultaten visade att många av lärarna använde liknande arbetssätt som kretsade kring användandet av programvaran garageband och det loop-bibliotek som medföljer i programmet. Inspelning användes främst för att dokumentera elevers färdiga kompositioner i samband med musikskapande. De mest förekommande problem som beskrevs var kopplade till tid och tillgänglig utrustning. Som fördelar nämns ökat intresse och motivation hos elever, och de möjligheter som digitala verktyg medför till de elever som inte behärskar instrument..

Det huvudsakliga målet var att skapa ett python-bibliotek som fungerar som ett interface till Visual TeMIP. Visual TeMIP är ett C++-API som används till att utveckla applikationer och moduler för alarmhanteringssystemet OpenView TeMIP. Ett sekundärt mål var att skapa en lättvikts-webbserver och en webbklient för de mindre kunder som inte har behov av den fullfjädrade TeMIP-klienten. Webbservern skrevs helt i Python och använde sig av PyMIPbiblioteket, webbklienten skrev i DHTML och AJAX. En ASCII-baserad larmlista skriven i Python gjordes också för att användas av utvecklare och tekniker, samt för att testa funktionaliteten i PyMIP.

This Masters thesis concerns how library and preschool can cooperate in supporting childrens language development and especially that of bilingual children. We have investigated how librarians and preschool teachers different competences can complement each other to gain the best result in work with childrens language development. This study is based on qualitative interviews with four librarians and three preschool teachers. The answers from them have been analysed according to different categories. Our results show that both librarians and preschool teachers think that bilingual children need extra support and that it takes longer to learn two languages.
