De japanska bibliotekens tjänster till allmänhet och forskarsamhället
- 2008
-
Rapport (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Studiebesöken visade tjänster och funktioner från två olika perspektiv; det nationellt övergripande och arbetet i den lokala verksamheten.De nationellt övergripande tjänsterna och funktionerna visades genom tre besök på institutioner med nationellt ansvar: National Institue of Informatics (NII), National Diet Library (nationalbiblioteket, NDL) och National Instititute of Multimedia Education (NIME). Det finns ett stort värde i att nationellt kraftsamla resurser och kompetenser. Besöken visar att institutioner som får ett uttalat nationellt ansvar inom sitt ansvarsområde ges möjligheter att utveckla tjänster och funktioner som inget enskilt bibliotek har möjlighet att åstadkomma.Några exempel är:NII arbetar med forskning och utveckling på nationell nivå inom den vetenskapliga informationsförsörjningen både vad det gäller service och tjänster och kommunikationsinfrastruktur.NDL har fått ett nationellt uppdrag att lösa problemet med digitalt bevarande. Uppdraget tas på mycket stort allvar och ett omfattande arbete med kartläggning och planering av hur frågan skall hanteras är under arbete.NIME har det nationella ansvaret att upprätthålla en hög kompetens och har omfattande resurser för utbildning och forskning inom medieområdet.Besöken i de lokala biblioteken har visat på flera prioriterade områden och ett par exempel är:Digitalisering av olika delar av samlingarna ses som angeläget och arbetet har också kommit långt på flera håll, framför allt när det gäller att öka tillgängligheten av äldre kulturskatter. Efterfrågan och användning av det digitaliserade materialet är mycket stor, inte minst från användare från andra länder.När det gäller frågor av organisatorisk karaktär har besöken genomgående visat på en förhållandevis hög grad av outsourcing av vissa tjänster. Detta ses som ett sätt att dels kunna hålla och utveckla en högre kompetens på de som faktiskt är anställda och dels ett sätt att kunna vara mer flexibel med möjlighet att konkurrensutsätta olika funktioner.

Konferensbidrag (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- In Sweden there is one consortium for virtual references for each public and research library. The research libraries’ service Librarian On Duty, which uses VRLplus, is a pedagogical service where the patron gets a personal guidance by a librarian via chat and co-browsing. Librarian On Duty is more of a general resource than a specialist one. This means that very specialised questions may not be answered directly, but instead be directed to the most suitable librarian. Depending on the patron’s requirements, the librarian on duty can transfer the question to a colleague at the same library or to another library within the consortia. Librarian on Duty is already in use by half of Sweden’s research libraries.The corresponding service for the public libraries, Ask the Library, is a virtual reference service with many years of experience, the e-mail service was started already in 1995, and now consists of 36 libraries that answer e-mail questions and 14 of these libraries also take part in a chat service. To make a whole new collaboration between and within the consortia possible, the public libraries will change systems to VRLplus, i.e. the same system that is used by the research libraries.A new model for collaborationBy organizing in two consortia, using the same software, there is a possibility for the two organizational types to develop a whole new model for collaboration. This new model implies that each organization could have its own local installation to give service to their local users in the first hand. Each organization participates in the national or international consortias where there is a collaboration to give service around the clock.The new possibilities for cooperation mean that each organization, by using the systems bridge between the consortias, can define new collaborative partners on a national or international basis and thus create whole new virtual information services. These new services may consist of university and research organizations and governmental institutions within a region, e.g. ”Ask Scandinavia”, or be built by competence. It may also be a subject-based cooperation within a European Union area, e.g. ”Ask ECDC”. Other examples may include cooperation between different competences and professions, e.g. “Ask EUROPE DIRECT”.This means increased possibilities for specialization and development, and whole new collaborative constellations between libraries and other community-based services can emerge while still maintaining the basic responsibility for the local users. This is enabled by a tool that is under constant development.The leading ideas to make this a successful service are:- Guidance suited to the needs of the questioner- Creative reference and information work- Competence development for the information professionals- Rationalisation of scarce resources- Higher quality of information services, both off and on campus

These new services may consist of public, school and research libraries within a region, ”Ask Stockholm”. It may also be a subject based cooperation within the research libraries, e.g. ”Ask The Law Librarian”. Other examples may include cooperation between children’s libraries, “Ask The Children’s Librarian”.The operators staffing the different services will always get an indication if the question is coming from the local, national or some of the other services that are connected to the operator’s library.This means increased possibilities for specialization and development, and whole new collaborative constellations between libraries can emerge, while still maintaining the basic responsibility for the local users.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Libraries are critical learning spaces and may play a significant role in intercultural education initiatives, particularly in Sweden where the national curriculum ascribes central functions to libraries for learning activities. Unfortunately, the ways in which teachers and librarians may collaborate to leverage mutual resources is not fully understood. This article uses Pirjo Lahdenperä’s model of intercultural education development to consider the case of a small school library in a highly diverse urban neighbourhood. Although public libraries in Scandinavia can support intercultural educational values by addressing individual needs and complementing curriculum-based teaching, the development of new teaching practices requires additional guidance as well as institutional support.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper treats document–document similarity approaches in the context of science mapping. Five approaches, involving nine methods, are compared experimentally. We compare text-based approaches, the citation-based bibliographic coupling approach, and approaches that combine text-based approaches and bibliographic coupling. Forty-three articles, published in the journal Information Retrieval, are used as test documents. We investigate how well the approaches agree with a ground truth subject classification of the test documents, when the complete linkage method is used, and under two types of similarities, first-order and second-order. The results show that it is possible to achieve a very good approximation of the classification by means of automatic grouping of articles. One text-only method and one combination method, under second-order similarities in both cases, give rise to cluster solutions that to a large extent agree with the classification.

Women's experience of the health information process involving a digital information tool before commencing radiation therapy for breast cancer : a deductive interview study
- 2023
-
Ingår i: BMC Health Services Research. - : BioMed Central (BMC). - 1472-6963. ; 23:1
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- BACKGROUND: Individuals undergoing radiation therapy for breast cancer frequently request information before, throughout and after the treatment as a means to reduce distress. Nevertheless, the provision of information to meet individuals needs from their level of health literacy is often overlooked. Thus, individuals information needs are often unmet, leading to reports of discontent. Internet and digital information technology has significantly augmented the available information and changed the way in which persons accesses and comprehends information. As health information is no longer explicitly obtained from healthcare professionals, it is essential to examine the sequences of the health information process in general, and in relation to health literacy. This paper reports on qualitative interviews, targeting women diagnosed with breast cancer who were given access to a health information technology tool, Digi-Do, before commencing radiation therapy, during, and after treatment. METHODS: A qualitative research design, inspired by the integrated health literacy model, was chosen to enable critical reflection by the participating women. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 women with access to a digital information tool, named Digi-Do, in addition to receiving standard information (oral and written) before commencing radiation therapy, during, and after treatment. A deductive thematic analysis process was conducted. RESULTS: The results demonstrate how knowledge, competence, and motivation influence women's experience of the health information process. Three main themes were found: Meeting interactive and personal needs by engaging with health information; Critical recognition of sources of information; and Capability to communicate comprehended health information. The findings reflect the women's experience of the four competencies: to access, understand, appraise, and apply, essential elements of the health information process. CONCLUSIONS: We can conclude that there is a need for tailored digital information tools, such as the Digi-Do, to enable iterative access and use of reliable health information before, during and after the radiation therapy process. The Digi-Do can be seen as a valuable complement to the interpersonal communication with health care professionals, facilitating a better understanding, and enabling iterative access and use of reliable health information before, during and after the radiotherapy treatment. This enhances a sense of preparedness before treatment starts.
