Abstract This master’s thesis concerns the professional knowledge of
the librarian. It is a comparative study where two major magazines
in library press, Biblioteksbladet and DIK-forum, is
compared between the years 1990-2000, in relation to the
theories of professionalization and the associations to the union.
The study focus on showing the differences and similarities
between the two magazines according to how they interact
from the subjects education, wages and status. The study
is conducted from two questions:
• Which are the central differences and similarities in the
description of the librarian profession in the two magazines,
from the perspectives of wage, status and education?
• In what way do the two magazines reflect the theories of
professionalization?
To give a wider perspective of the librarian profession, there
is also a historical chapter with an explanation to the making
of the librarian profession.
