Cooperation

cooperationUniversity of Borås has a device “Science for the professions” and this will be fulfilled through cooperation with the professions within commissioned education, courses, study programmes and research. The Swedish School of Library and Information Science is therefore focusing on developing the collaboration with the professions and the links between the study programmes and the profession. We want to cooperate with different fields/professions when it comes to the content and structure of our programmes and the demands for courses and commissioned education. Furthermore we find it important that the research carried out at the department is interesting for the profession.
