DoctoralSchoolinCommunicationSciences,theninitseighthyear,welcomedits

It was within the framework of this Doctoral School that the ‘New Challenges,

Further events associated with the Doctoral School, covering such topics as the
future challenges and possibilities for libraries, gamification, games and libraries,
andchangesininformationseeking,strengthenedtheconvictionthatthetimewas

Thecontributorstothisvolumeincludeinformationscienceprofessors,leading

practitionersinthedomainoflibraries,informationandcommunication.Although
some of the authors participated in the 2018 conference, this book comprises new
contributions,notpaperspresentedatthatevent.Thebookisdividedintothreeparts
by general theme, but each chapter stands alone and variations in authorial style
and article structure have been maintained as a strength of the collection, repre-
sentingastylisticdiversitythatshouldbeencouragedalongsidenewmethodological
approaches.
I would like to give thanks to all of the contributors to this volume for their
work,butespeciallytoDr.AriHaasioforhisenthusiasm,support,encouragement
and assistance at different stages of the shaping of this book, to Professors Jan
Nolin, J. Tuomas Harviainen and Markku Mattila and to Dr. Arja Mäntykangas,
former senior lecturer at the University of Borås, for her valuable comments and
suggestions. I would also like to thank Mr. Titi Jalba˘ from E-nformation for his
supportinpublishingthisbook.
