- Abstract
- Ways of classifying adult fiction vary from library to library in the absence of a standard or universal system. Describes a questionnaire survey of 67 libraries which attempted to identify the various method used by libraries in classifying, arranging and displaying their adult fiction collections. Stresses the need for an evaluation of the methods used and to explore user needs, genre categories, and techniques used by bookstores

- Abstract
- Because classification of fiction has posed a dilemma for librarians for many years, the author conducted a survey of the classification practices of larger llibrary systems in the United States. The majority of libraries physically separate adult fiction from adult nonfiction. A large percentage of libraries use genre categorization to arrange a part of their fiction collection. The author concludes: "We now know what we are doing, but are we sure of the whys?"

- Abstract
- Despite the popularity of fiction in libraries, little has been done to analyse systematically the criteria that fiction readers use when selecting books. Describes and evaluates several fiction sclassification systems from the perspective of how well they answer likely reader queries regarding the subject of a novel. Examines the 2-faceted 'levels-of-access' concept that is the common point of reference in all comparisons. Discusses classification schemes in terms of theri utility for browsing, subject headings for card catalogues, and printed indexes. Also discusses the provision of multifaceted subject access through on-line fiction cataloguing. Suggests further investigation of levels of access
