This study investigates to which degree international developments in cataloguing have influenced Swedish cataloguing rules (KRS). The results show that KRS has been influenced by international developments in cataloguing to varying degrees. The study also shows that KRS has been influenced by Anglo-American cataloguing rules, previous editions of Swedish cataloguing rules and by the work undertaken by the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions..

The aim of this thesis is to examine the characteristics of film cataloguing, and to compare general as in library use and specific as in archival use cataloguing rules. Most rules, both in archives and libraries, use the book as a point of reference. This is somewhat unfortunate on account of the great difference between books and films. The method used is studies of literature and qualitative interviews with three persons whose professional duties include cataloguing of films. The sets of rules which are studied are Katalogiseringsregler för svenska bibliotek KRS and The FIAF Cataloguing Rules for Film Archives.

Literature and music as an expression of art have some parts in common, others can quite differ. Both are using a language, and both can exist in written representations. You can find such written or printed items in library catalogues. The aim of this two years master's thesis is to examine how cataloguing of printed fiction-literature and printed music looks like, what differences you can find in cataloguing of printed literature and printed music.This study is based on a comparative methodology and two different theories are used. The first describes the common tasks for library catalogues as they are known traditionally and recently (as FRBR-conceptual model), the other is a comparison of the two art-species literature (fiction) and music.This paper's first part is a comparison of how printed literature and printed music are catalogued in the Swedish national catalogue LIBRIS.

SÀvar bibliotek ska införa meröppet, och denna studie har undersökt hur man bör gÄ tillvÀga. Intervjuer utfördes via telefon och e-mail till andra meröppna bibliotek, och en fokusgrupp utfördes med besökare och personal vid SÀvar bibliotek. Vi undersökte Àven relevant litteratur för att hitta hur sjÀlva miljön i biblioteket ska se ut. Vi kom fram till att det Àr viktigt att information om förÀndringarna kommer ut till besökarna. Det Àr ocksÄ viktigt att biblioteket ska vara en social miljö, sÄ det Àr viktigt att arrangera det sÄ att det uppmuntrar till social interaktion..

MÄlet med denna undersökning har varit att ta fram lÀmpligt bibliotek i programsprÄket C för generering och parsning av JSON (JavaScript Object Notation). Biblioteket ska anvÀndas för att bygga ett nytt API mot Svenska Spels transaktionssystem som ska underlÀtta för klientutvecklare att anropa systemet. Undersökningen har begrÀnsats till utvÀrdering tvÄ utvalda bibliotek, YAJL (Yet Another Json Library) och Jansson. För att kunna jÀmföra och analysera dessa har jag implementerat ett testprogram som mÀter deras prestanda vid generering och parsning av ett antal utvalda JSON objekt. Jag har Àven undersökt biblioteken utifrÄn anvÀndarvÀnlighet och robusthet.

Denna uppsats syftar till att se hur Nacka kommun styr sina bibliotek i offentlig och privat regi och om det finns en skillnad i synsÀttet pÄ bibliotekets samhÀllsuppdrag mellan biblioteken som pÄverkar hur dessa tolkar och implementerar de krav som kommunen stÀller. En förstudie gjordes i form av en observation pÄ respektive bibliotek samt intervju med en ombudsman och en utredare för facket DIK för att fÄ större inblick i Àmnet. Intervjuer med respondenter frÄn ett bibliotek som drivs i privat regi och ett offentligt bibliotek genomfördes samt en intervju med en utvÀrderingsexpert hos Nacka kommun. Informationen frÄn dessa intervjuer analyserades sedan efter de utvalda organisationsteorier som valts ut efter uppsatsens syfte. Resultatet av analysen visade pÄ en skillnad i synsÀttet hos respektive bibliotek bÄde pÄ ett organisatoriskt plan och i det utbud bibliotek erbjuder till medborgarna.

The aim of this thesis is to describe and compare the cataloguing rules for sound recordings: the rules used by a specialised archive and common libraries respectively. We will put the rules in relation to purposes (the objectives of a bibliographic system) and principles (directives that guide the construction of a bibliographic language). The first question to be answered is in which way the set of rules used by a specialised archive differ from the one used by common libraries. The second question examines if and how the differences can be derived from purposes and principles. The sets of rules studied are KRS (chapter 6) and the Swedish version of the IASA Cataloguing Rules (1999), worked out by the National Archive of Sound and Moving Images (SLBA).

The aim of this study is to examine the historical information about women?s libraries and book ownership during the early modern period in the work of Carl Magnus Carlander, Svenska bibliotek och ex-libris [Swedish libraries and ex-libris] (1904) and to inquire the scientific value of the information. A gender perspective is applied to the study. Gender is understood as a social and cultural constructed concept, dealing with female and male identities as interdependent categories.The study of Svenska bibliotek och ex-libris is made using source criticism and it has two parts. The first part deals with external conditions of the creation of the work; the life of C.

A large part of research about libraries and library buildings in Sweden has been focused on how the building looks not how it functions with the library. The aim with this master?s thesis is to study how a library building is functioning and how its users are experiencing it. This is studied in three libraries, Kungliga tekniska högskolans bibliotek, Sambiblioteket in HÀrnösand and Vitterhetsakademiens bibliotek. With the questions of how they were planed, what did the libraries want from the new building and which of these demands were realized.

Med utgÄngspunkt i 3 mönster skapas en fantasivÀrld som möter barn pÄ bibliotek. Mönstrade ylletyger har tillverkats för att sedan filtas och placeras i rummet. Meningen med mönstren Àr att skapa en kÀnsla av skog, harmoni och delaktighet i rummet..

Enligt tillgÀnglig statistik besöker mÀn bibliotek i lÀgre grad Àn kvinnor, de lÄnar och lÀser fÀrre böcker Àn kvinnor och köper fÀrre böcker Àn kvinnor. Syftet med detta examensarbete Àr att belysa varför mÀn inte nyttjar bibliotek i samma utstrÀckning som kvinnor med hjÀlp av psykologiska förklaringsmodeller och utifrÄn resultatet ge underlag för ÄtgÀrder för att öka mÀns besök och nyttjande av bibliotek. Om inte bakomliggande orsaker till varför mÀn inte nyttjar kommunens bibliotek klarlÀggs, finns risk för att mÀns fortbildning och samhÀllsengagemang avtar med den pÄföljden att demokratiprocessen och jÀmstÀlldhetsstrÀvandena fÄr stÄ tillbaka. Examensarbetet har gjorts i form av en litteraturstudie med begrÀnsningen att inget empiriskt underlag fanns att tillgÄ för att undersöka problemomrÄdet. Arbetets bidrag ligger i att belysa hur könsidentiteten, dvs.

The aim of this Master?s thesis is to investigate how a public library should sign and organize their resources to make them as accessible as possible to the users of the library. Our theory, Paul Arthur?s and Romedi Passini?s wayfinding theory, is about how people search through information loaded environments. Our empirical material consists mainly of three parts: an inventory of the resources and guiding at Hammarö bibliotek, eight interviews with visitors at Hammarö bibliotek and observations of how visitors use and interact with the library, its resources and guiding.

This evaluational study has been initiated by the County Council of GĂ€vleborg (LandstingetGĂ€vleborg), politically responsible (and the main economical) authority of BibliotekGĂ€vleborg, the regional library institution in the county of GĂ€vleborg, Sweden.The aim of the study is threefolded:1. to evaluate the organization of Bibliotek GĂ€vleborg during the 1990's as we11 as theeffects of a reorganization carried out in 1990, and, through the use of interviews and a questionnaire, to ascertain the attitudes of Bibliotek GĂ€vleborg's branch users (mainlythe municipal libraries in the county) towards the organizational development.2. to evaluate and compare regional library activities in GĂ€vleborg prior to and duringthe 1990's, and to investigate the attitudes of the afore-mentioned branch users towardsBibliotek GĂ€vleborg's activities.3. to investigate and discuss possible future directions of regional library development in Sweden in general, and in GĂ€vleborg in particular.The closing, debating chapter in the study also'contains a few suggestions of measures to enhance regional library activity in GĂ€vleborg..

This master's thesis deals with how a school class of 19 students that are 12 years old,perceive the conception of the library and its activities, and how this can be studied by usingfour different approaches: analysis of the children's drawings, analysis of the children'sessays and analysis of their answers to questions in an inquiry and in interviews. Theories ofhow children learn, develop and perceive the world are briefly presented, as we11 as theorynecessary for the analysis.The four different techniques produced in general the same result; the children displayed thesame thoughts, knowledge and values in the drawings, in the essays, in the inquiry andduring the interviews. The children participating look upon a library as mainly a building,though sometimes also a room, where there are books..
