Another research library activity

In Sweden, three weeks before a viva, or PhD defence, the event is announced and the thesis made public, in a ceremony called "spikning". Some universities do it digitally, some do it manually, as the University of Borås. The University of Borås PhD student is supposed to hang the thesis on a wall in the library, using a nail (nail=spik). On the 31st of August however, the PhD student Emma Forsgren was not in Sweden, so the ceremony was partly held online by the help of an iPad. Even though the text here is in Swedish, the pictures of speak for themselves. In three weeks, Emma will defend her doctoral thesis: "Enterprise Social Media in Project-based Knowledge Work - A contextualised view through the lens of activity theory".
