The 73 peer-reviewed records included in this systematic review were obtained from WoS, Ebsco, and Scopus. This review shows that culture, religion, policy, and systematic inequalities may play three different roles for our studied population, including facilitators, barriers, and health-related information sources. The findings indicated that providing universal health-related information and healthcare services may not meet all of the healthcare needs of our study population. As a result, healthcare providers must take a cross-cultural approach when designing, developing, and delivering specific health promotion programmes, treating patients with respect and attention, and providing health-related information and healthcare services based on ethnic, cultural, religious, and migration statuses.</p> 2025-01-23T00:00:00+01:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Hamed Ahmadinia, Kristina Eriksson-Backa https://tidsskrift.dk/njlis/article/view/146726 Managing the Past and the Future 2024-12-09T14:23:48+01:00 Ann-Sofie Klareld ann-sofie.klareld@kultur.lu.se Emma Pihl Skoog emma.pihl.skoog@sh.se Kristofer Söderström kristofer_rolf.soderstrom@kultur.lu.se <p>This paper focuses on contemporary archival professionals in Sweden. The research questions posed are: RQ1: What are the different facets of archival work commonly described in employment advertisements directed at archival professionals? RQ2: What are the desirable personal traits that employers seek when hiring an archival professional? The material consists of job advertisements from the year 2022 compiled from Historical ads. The methods applied are content analysis and reflexive thematic analysis, and we use the term archival professionals to denote employees that are responsible for society's information resources being created, shared, used and preserved in an adequate way. A well-functioning information supply is crucial for information security, transparency and public access to information, and for securing future digital cultural heritage. Archival professionals have often been described as somewhat mysterious and obscured. Due to digitalisation, new demands are being created. However, it is not self-evident what different facets of archival work are required and what personal characteristics are beneficial. Our conclusion is that there is a broad scope in the types of archival work described and wished by employers. The roles and responsibilities of archival professionals, as depicted in employment advertisements, are diverse and multifaceted. They are expected to develop, lead, and educate within their area of expertise. Personality wise, an archival professional should be meticulous and at the same time flexible, be prepared to do monotonous work but also be creative, be able to work alone and at the same time meet the public.</p> 2025-01-23T00:00:00+01:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Ann-Sofie Klareld, Emma Pihl Skoog, Kristofer Söderström https://tidsskrift.dk/njlis/article/view/146744 Introduction to Documentation Studies 2024-06-14T16:53:57+02:00 Ola Pilerot ola.pilerot@hb.se 2024-06-28T00:00:00+02:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Ola Pilerot https://tidsskrift.dk/njlis/article/view/147307 Research communication in the climate crisis: Open letters and the mobilization of information 2024-07-03T16:41:33+02:00 Nils Pharo nils.pharo@oslomet.no 2024-07-03T00:00:00+02:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Nils Pharo https://tidsskrift.dk/njlis/article/view/147311 Information Literacy Through Theory 2024-07-04T09:36:16+02:00 Jenny Glashoff jenny.glashoff@abm.uu.se 2024-07-04T00:00:00+02:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Jenny Glashoff https://tidsskrift.dk/njlis/article/view/152958 Rom for lesing og utforsking: Skolebibliotekets muligheter 2025-01-23T12:43:59+01:00 Louise Limberg louise.limberg@hb.se 2025-01-23T00:00:00+01:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Louise Limberg https://tidsskrift.dk/njlis/article/view/153001 The messiness and orderliness of data-making in biodiversity citizen science 2025-01-27T14:28:20+01:00 Olle Sköld olle.skold@abm.uu.se 2025-01-27T00:00:00+01:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Olle Sköld
