Managing Knowledge in Academic Libraries Are we? Should we?
2016
This article gives an overview of the field of knowledge management and suggests how this can be applied to academic libraries. A literature review has been conducted and has been subject to a critical analysis of comparison to IFLAs standard for “Continuing Professional Development: Principles and Best Practices” (IFLA, 2015). Here IFLA has identified 10 points of best practice. These 10 points will be measured against the literature in the field of knowledge management to ascertain if academic libraries would benefit from a stronger relation to knowledge management.
Library instruction – Not just for our users: Skills upgrading for librarians as a way of increasing self-confidence
2015
Published version of an article from the journal: LIBER Quarterly: Available from the publisher: http://liber.library.uu.nl/index.php/lq/article/view/10002/10598.

The aim of the second survey is to examine if the librarians’ confidence has increased after the yearlong training programme. Even thoug…
The Ph.D.-candidate as an information literate resource: developing research support and information literacy skills in an informal setting
2013
Published version of an article in the journal Liber Quarterly, Open Access This article aims to suggest a new way of developing research support for PhD-candidates. Previous research on the field of research support is greatly focused on librarians’ competencies and how to assist researchers with what they lack in information literacy (IL) skills. There is little focus on collaboration with researchers to achieve a mutual learning outcome in regard to developing research support and IL skills. A socio-cultural view on IL indicates that IL skills are developed in a context, and therefore are situated. A high level of IL in one situation could be regarded as insufficient in another. Therefor…
Just in case, just in time, or just don't bother? Assessment of one-shot library instruction with follow-up workshops
2015
Published version from the journal: LIBER Quarterly. Available from the publisher at: http://liber.library.uu.nl/index.php/lq/article/view/URN%3ANBN%3ANL%3AUI%3A10-1-116866 This article examines if the timing of library instruction courses is an important part of how students experience library instruction as a means of developing information literacy skills. Two student groups, belonging to different academic subjects, have received the same training and the same assessment questionnaire afterwards. One of the groups was in the middle of writing their student thesis as a part of their final year of their bachelor degree work, the other group consisted of different subjects within the human…
