- Abstract
- This paper examnines various isues that arise in establishing a theoretical basis for an experimental fiction analysis system. It analyzes the warrants of fiction and of works about fiction. From this analysis, it derives classificatory requirements for a fiction system. Classificatory techniques that may contribute to the specification of data elements in fiction are suggested

- Abstract
- Considers the recent trend towards the promotion, by public libraries, of literary fiction with particular reference to a new fiction initiative by the British Library which seeks to redress the imbalance between the level of access provided for fiction and non fiction in library catalogues. From January 1997, the BNB catalogue records for works of fiction will be indexed using the LCSH in conjunction with a range of genre and form headings derived from the American Library Association' Guidelines on Subject Access to Individual Works on Fiction, Drama etc. (GSAFD). Access provided by the GSAFD approach encompass access by genre and access by subject

- Abstract
- EDVIN is a subject term and genre database for fiction and biographies, for use by librarians as well as by library users, based on many years of experience of what library users actually ask for, i.e. novels on a given subject, a novel similar to or as good as the one they have just read, or the title of a book on the basis of only vague recollections. The product is not a thesaurus constructed according to a previously determined model, but a register of subject terms developed according to the a posteriori method and in close cooperation with the public

- Abstract
- Reports results of a study which applied a typological procedure, developed by Lazairsfeld from the social sciences, to a set of qualitative data on fiction reading habits for the purpose of forming a practical typology of fiction borrowers. The data was collected from a sample of 300 readers in 2 medium sized UK public libraries over a 2 month period. The procedure, using an inductive research approach, first mapped readers along 6 dimensions of reading habits which emerged from the data frequencies of borrowing, the numbers of authors currently read, the literary/recreational orientation of reading, searching approaches usually applied, sureness (confidence) in book selection and then proceeded to reduce the number of combinations formed by these dimensions, based on their relationships. A typology of 7 types of fiction borrowers was devised: readers of particularism; readers of frequent literary pluralism; readers of infrequent literary pluralism; readers of frequent recreational pluralism; readers of infrequent recreational pluralism; readers of frequent universalism; and readers of infrequent universalism

- Abstract
- This article looks at self service from a different angle: empowering users to select items themselves. From Jan 1997, BNB catalogue records for works of fiction will be indexed using the LCSH in conjunction with a range of genre and from headings derived from the ALA's Guidelines on Subject Access to Individual Works of Fiction, Drama, etc. (GSAFD). GSAFD gives access by genre and access by subject. Outlines the subject searching capabilities on the library online catalogue which will enable remote access

- Abstract
- The broadside ballads collections at Oxford University's Bodleian Library comprise over 30,000 titles and are an important resource for researchers in popular literature between the 16th and 19th centuries. The creation of a digital database of the ballads has presented the challenge of cataloguing and indexing a large collection of documents containing both textual and visual material. Discusses issues surrounding the subject indexing using ICONCLASS of the woodcut illustrations of the ballads, including: differences between the cataloguing and indexing of images and of texts; how the indexing of visual and textual material should be integrated; how successful is ICONCLASS in establishing communication between the indexer and the user; and what is the appropriate interface for a large collection of items with a wide variety of potential users

- Abstract
- Considers the nature of fiction in relation to classification and indexing systems. Literary theory today is very heterogeneous. In designing an indexing system a single trend of school should not be chosen. Following a systematic extension and development of the 'how' facet of fictional documents is an useful approach. Themes should be a visible aspect in classification and indexing systems. Aspects of literary history, period, literary movement and influence should be noted

- Abstract
- Following up themes in an article in a previous issue of this journal on the trend amongst public libraries in recent years to run literature promotions to foster greater exploitation of their collections of fiction, focuses on the contribution of the catalogue to the activity of promotion. Suggests there is plenty of evidence to suggest that traditional access provided by the catalogue is failing to meet a need for subject based access to fiction. A new fiction indexing initiative by the British Library seeks to redress the balance between the level of access provided for fiction and non fiction in library catalogues. From Jan 1997 BNB catalogue records for fiction have been indexed using the LCSH in conjunction with a range of genre headings derived from the American Library Association's 'Guidelines on Subject Access to Individual Works of Fiction, Drama etc. (GSAFD). The guidelines recommend indexing fiction to provide for 4 kinds of access: by form/genre; characters; setting; and topic. Discusses the principles and usefulness of this approach with the help of some difficult to categorise examples

- Abstract
- This paper examines a user categorisation of documents related to a particular literary work. 50 study participants completed an unconstrained sorting rask of documents related to Charles Dickens' 'A christmas carol'. After they had finished the sorting task, participants wrote desriptions of the attributes they used to create each group. Content analysis of theses descriptions revealed categories of attributes used for grouping. Participants used physical format, audience, content description, pictorial elements, usage, and language most frequently for grouping. Many of the attributes participants used for grouping already exist in bibliographic records and may be used to cluster records related to works automatically in online catalogue displays. The attributes used by people in classifying or grouping documents related to a work may be used to guide the design of summary online catalogue work displays
