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 & Knowledge management; Scholarly
communication and Scientometrics; Information behaviour, practices and
litteracies; 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.<o:p></o:p></font></font></span></p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">
