Abstract [en]

Digital platforms are often expected to enable sharing. In this digital era technology is proposed in municipalities to increase “sharing” of limited resources. Among the responsibilities, municipalities organize and manage waste and recycling for the residents. These are on-site and take place within the municipal borders, but the coordination may take place online. The interaction of online and on-site sharing within the municipality and address the possibility of using the local library as a hybrid platform for sharing. The Swedish library has a long tradition as sharing platform where residents can borrow books, and access information. Furthermore, the digitalization of society has implied that libraries expand their area of activities concerning supporting citizens towards digital inclusion. Additionally, items beyond books, like tools, leisure equipment etc are shared at libraries. The study is based on interviews, on-site observations at the library, as well as online observations of a Facebook group where resources are shared. The proposal of multi-sited ethnography to enable studies of online and on-site interaction between residents, civil servants, and politicians in the municipality regarding circulation of resources and sharing is applied. The aim is to investigate collaborative governance and in what ways small municipalities with sparse population and vast geography can harness the possibilities of sharing platforms.
