libraries, literature and knowledge organization
10 ECTS

Autumn 2014 

Course structure: independent studies and two meetings in Oslo (13-17

Course description: The content of this doctoral study course is based
on selected fields of contemporary research in the library and
information science (LIS). It is designed to Nordic and Baltic LIS
doctoral students, but also suitable for doctoral students in LIS in any
other part of the world or in related research areas. The emphasis is
laid on following research themes: Metaviews in LIS; Information and
society; Mediation of literature and culture; Perspectives from
reception theory and sociology of literature; Knowledge organization,
bibliometrics and alike methods; Information behaviour/practices;
Archival records and document genres; and Information retrieval &
interactive information retrieval. The course is focused on the active
research fields, the lectures are delivered by internationally
established Scandinavian researchers, and the required literature is
inclined to reputable research published in English language. However,
students may enrich the course with literature in other languages.

The practical schema of the course is planned to facilitate
international students' course participation. The course is delivered at
the Oslo and Akershus University College of Applied Sciences, Oslo,
Norway, and it combines lectures and seminars on campus with independent
studies of literature as well as with written submission and oral
presentation. The course is given in English.
