Educational leadership in pre-school : A leadership in transition
This paper aims at discussing a research plan on educational leadership for educated teacher in pre-schools and is produced in the beginning of a doctoral project. Early childhood education and care in Sweden has been extended and reformed by the government as a part of the Swedish family welfare policy. The responsibility now lies within the Ministry of education and Science, and the supervisory responsibility with the National Agency for education. Pre-school (1-6) in Sweden are now a part of the educational system and has its own Curriculum.The School Act in 1998 has decentralized the responsibility to the municipalities, and thereby also the organization of the educational leadership. This change of the educational leadership for pre-school from a leadership located within the pre-school to a educational leader for a school district, is the initial ground for this research-interest. How does this change affect the educational leadership for pre-school teachers?This paper will account for what the regulatory documents and literature about educational leadership say about the importance of educative leadership.
Pedagogik i arbetslivet: ett historiskt perspektiv
I denna artikel ges en bild av hur forskningen om pedagogik i arbetslivet utvecklats i Sverige och vilka omraden den har rort. Aven om de omraden som har urskiljs delvis gar in i varandra representerar omradena relativt tydligt olika fokuseringar. I och med att utbildning, larande och kompetensutveckling i arbetslivet kom att bli ett pedagogiskt forskningsomrade tillfordes inte enbart ny kunskap till var forstaelse av manniskan i arbetslivet.

Villkoren for larande som ett allmant kunskapsomrade ges genom denna forskning en tydligare plats inom pedagogiken.
Content strategy in LibGuides: An exploratory study
Abstract Since its inception in 2007, Springshare's LibGuides has become a popular content management system (CMS) with academic libraries. The challenges of managing LibGuides content through a cohesive content strategy have not been well documented. The researchers conducted a survey of academic libraries that were using the LibGuides platform in Fall 2019 to determine how institutions are managing content challenges. Of 120 respondents, only 53% of the respondents indicated that their institutions had content guidelines that LibGuides authors were expected to follow. The top three most observed elements of these content guidelines were page design (80%), content reuse policies (77%), naming conventions (73%), and navigation (3%). 15% of respondents' institutions did not review guides once they were published. Of those that reviewed guides post-publication, authors (84%) most frequently reviewed their own guides. These findings imply that LibGuides are largely cared for on an honour system. Guidelines tend towards quantifiable elements and omit more abstract concepts.
