National Library of Sweden
The Swedish Law and Informatics Research Institute (IRI) and the National Library of Sweden (KB) have embarked on a collaboration agreement. The aim of this collaboration is to bring to the fore and highlight the legal questions that are common to their respective areas of expertise.
The National Library of Sweden is a research library, which specializes in the area of the Social Sciences and Humanities. The library also plays a central role the provision of information to universities and colleges. For example, it procures electronic scientific magazines and also provides databases and search capabilities.
The library’s assignment – to collect and make available books, magazines, music, television and radio etc. – results in legal questions that relate to copyright and privacy protection in the digital environment.
The collaboration between IRI and KB will be reflected by cooperation with regards to the writing of theses combined with practical experience, seminars and conferences.

Starting from the Autumn term 2009, KB can offer work experience for theses writers that are currently attending the undergraduate law programme at Stockholm University. KB’s lawyer, Jerker Rydén, together with a regular supervisor from IRI, will provide support in this regard.
