The aim is to develop knowledge of the growth of modern multifunctional institutions in the ALM-sector (archives, libraries, museums). Particular institutions that prioritise multicultural documentation will be used as case studies. | Contents
This course presents central theories and developments concerning centres of documentation, culture and learning. Special attention will be given to how the concurrence of modern information technology and the conscious efforts by different professional groups provides new possibilities for the hybridisation of previously separate institutions. The aspects of power in these processes will also be considered. | Form of teaching
Two hours of lectures and seminars (student participation is expected) for eight weeks, followed by individual research and supervision. Two weeks are dedicated to class discussion of chosen projects.
Lectures: 16 hours. Seminars: 8 hours. Supervision: 2 hours.
Alternatively, the tuition can be organised in more comprehensive and intense periods. | Exam and assessment

The final grade will be based upon the term paper of 25.000-30.000 characters, space gaps not included. The paper needs to be submitted electronically and in paper. Other media projects making use of for example pictures, sound or video are viable. | Contact person/lecturer
