Nordic Nine is important to CBS and as such important to the library. A library does not just store information; it maintains and teaches the skills that are needed to access it. We have taken a close look at the nine capabilities and below you will find out how the library contributes to the paradigm.
We maintain a deep knowledge base in a broad context. (#1)
Along with books and journals, the library provides access to continuously updated statistics, research, and journalism. The ability to find relevant information in a sea of data is part of the knowledge competence of our graduates.
We support the growth of analytical and curious minds. (#2)
The library provides reliable sources of primary data and gives students the tools to identify patterns within them. We emphasize the importance of source criticism and help them to build their analytical vocabulary.
We foster critical thinking and constructive collaboration. (#6)
In research, it is essential to practice humility, self-reflection, curiosity, and generosity. We show our students how to make use of other people’s ideas and the importance of acknowledging their contributions.
In all our interactions with students, we emphasize the importance of these skills beyond their use at university, their value to their future employers, and their future selves.
