Up-to-date current experience as a library practitioner in addition to my background in teaching and research gives the author the optimal skills and experience to author this book.
Prior to her current post in the University of Gothenburg, the author worked for ten years (2010-2020) as a lecturer and researcher at the Swedish School of Library and Information Science (SSLIS) at the University of Borås. She undertook a PhD in Library and information Science, 2018. During these years she taught future librarians and prepared them for their professional life working in, among other places, academic libraries.
The author has also been involved in several research projects; the largest one was her PhD project which was about the social legitimacy of public libraries. Other projects include a survey study on expectations library managers (including academic library managers) have of newly graduated librarians and an interview study of digital investments that are made in selected public libraries in Sweden.view less
