reception theory and sociology of literature; Knowledge organization,
bibliometrics and alike methods; Information behaviour/practices;
Archival records and document genres; and Information retrieval &

The practical schema of the course is planned to facilitate

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.
