Biography
I am a doctoral student in the research area of Library and information science and my dissertation deals with e-books in Sweden, with a focus on public libraries and booksellers. I started my employment at the University of Borås in 2010 as a teacher. My areas are strategic communication, news and web texts, and design of web pages and print documents. I have a journalist degree from Göteborg University, a MA in English from Växjö and a MSc in Library and information science from the Swedish school of library and information science. Between 2013-2017 I have been working in a research project on e-books, which was funded by the Swedish Research Council. The project book, The e-book in Sweden. Researching a small language market, is expected to be published in October 2017.
