    Teaching

    My primary professional interests are:

    • evidence-based library development
    • history of Danish special libraries
    • quality management
    • innovation & change management
    • library leadership & management
    • cultural heritage management 
    • research methodology

    I am also internationally oriented, e.g. by delivering courses on modern library management for library managers and library school teachers in a number of former Eastern European countries (Hungary, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland) and South Africa. My experience as external lecturer at the Aarhus Business School, made me familiar with delivering courses aimed at other target groups than librarians and library students, e.g., business school students.
