Abstract

In the classification of fiction literature in public libraries its presentation on shelves and its depth analysis in card files or selective bibliographies should supplement each other. In the article some less known traditions in the English-language area of thematical classification schemes in Germany of the twenties and since World War II are investigated. Concludingly some principles in the form of theses are stated which should be observed in the subject analysis of fiction lietrature in order to be able to meet fully the multiplicity of readers' requests

Abstract

Purpose - To reflect on an editorial from an earlier issue entitled "The banning of books in libraries". Design/methodology/approach - A discussion of the argument presented in the original editorial and its connection to present-day concerns over the use and dissemination of information and links to other issues, together with the maintenance of a professional ethos in the face of those concerns. Findings - A set of moral absolutes does exist from which librarians can derive an ethos for the operation of their services. Such absolutes take on a greater significance in the complex moral climate in which we now live, but are now under threat. Practical implications - This article calls on library and information professionals to maintain their stand in the face of increasing pressures to compromise attitudes. Originality/value - Reflects on the continuing (and increased) importance of professional values.

Abstract

Investigates what effect the shelf classification of fiction had on the way that library users in the 2 branch libraries of Kajanni, Finland, use the library's stock of fiction and how they loan fiction. In 1 library the fiction stock was divided in 11 shelf categories, based on genres of fiction - in the other no changes were made. The books were also indexed and classified in the library's database. The project lasted for 3 years and the results were gathered by interviewing clients and making statistical analysis on loans in both libraries

Abstract

Knowledge organization (KO) research has been traditionally more oriented toward scientific documents. However, narrative, one of the oldest kinds of literature genre, is increasingly important in the multimedia culture of today, and is getting more important in applied social sciences as business administration, advertising, public relations, politics or education. This paper explores the key facets for KO in the field building on literature theory and faceted classification theory.

Abstract

Information retrieval and exploration of work domains through databases and integrated information systems has become increasingly important in many modern work settings (as well as in libraries). The problem space of the users is defined on occasion by the dynamically changing requirements from their tasks and goals. it is argued that IR system design should be based on an analysis of the properties of the work domain, the task situation and the user characteristics. The paper describes a general framework for IR system design that has been used in the design of a library system. A special problem identified from use of the framework in domain analysis of fiction retrieval is treated in more detail: mapping the authors' domain structures to the domain structures expressed in users' needs in indexing and representation of fiction

Abstract

Purpose - Aims to focus on the correct attitude of the librarian when selecting fiction. Design/methodology/approach - The article discusses the banning of books in libraries from the context of what was perceived as a moral decline in the literature at the time that the article was written in 1928. Findings - The author's view is that no novel written has sufficient quality to be a source of trouble between a public library and its people. It should be bought if the reviewers praise it enough; it should be circulated freely until someone objects; and in that event it should be withdrawn from the open shelf, but it should be left in the catalogue. The person who wants it will ask for it, and if that person is of mature years, may be allowed, without question, to have it. Originality/value - The article provides information of a historical nature, of value to information professionals.

Abstract

In traditional classification, fictional works are indexed only by their form, genre, and language, while their subject content is believed to be irrelevant. However, recent research suggests that this may not be the best approach. We tested indexing of a small sample of selected fictional works by Integrative Levels Classification (ILC2), a freely faceted system based on phenomena instead of disciplines and considered the structure of the resulting classmarks. Issues in the process of subject analysis, such as selection of relevant vs. non-relevant themes and citation order of relevant ones, are identified and discussed. Some phenomena that are covered in scholarly literature can also be identified as relevant themes in fictional literature and expressed in classmarks. This can allow for hybrid search and retrieval systems covering both fiction and nonfiction, which will result in better leveraging of the knowledge contained in fictional works.

Abstract

Describes the OCLC Fiction Project from the point of view of a cataloguer participating in it. The project, which has been in existence since 1991, involves adding subject headings to catalogue records on the OCLC union catalogue for individual works of fiction. Discusses the 4 types of access to individual works of fiction: from/genre, character(s), geographical setting and topical. Also considers a number of issues involving in applying these headings to works (such as genre definitions, the nature of fiction, intertextuality, and the cataloguer's subjectivity)

Abstract

The subject analysis of narrative texts of fiction is complex; the methodological model of identification of concepts as elaborated for scientific texts is not applicable to fiction. It is proposed here that theoretical and methodological use of the Generative Trajectory of Meaning postulated by Greimas may contribute to the identification of aboutness in narrative texts of fiction.

Abstract

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to investigate fiction readers' interest criteria when selecting novels in library catalogs for various search tasks. Design/methodology/approach - The data of the book selection behavior from 80 genuine fiction readers were collected using recorded interviews and conversations. The data were qualitatively analyzed. Reuter's categorization of the components of aesthetic relevance has contributed to the construction of interest dimensions. Findings - A five-dimension categorization of interest criteria is presented based on fiction readers' interpretations of the influential factors in fiction book selection in different search tasks. The findings revealed that readers apply the identified interest criteria in a flexible and multiphase way depending to the search task and the system used. The findings showed a context-related pattern in readers' fiction book selections. A combination of readers' search capacities, "behind the eyes" knowledge, affective factors and a well-functioning interaction with a system used results in a successful book selection. Originality/value - A five-dimension categorization of adult fiction readers' interest criteria was created based on their search behaviors in library catalogs. The results provide a systematic step toward a comprehensive understanding of readers' fiction book selection in digital environments.

Abstract

The cultural heritage sector has embraced social tagging as a way to increase both access to online content and to engage users with their digital collections. In this article, we build on two current lines of research. (a) We use Waisda?, an existing labeling game, to add time-based annotations to content. (b) In this context, we investigate the role of experts in human-based computation (nichesourcing). We report on a small-scale experiment in which we applied Waisda? to content from film archives. We study the differences in the type of time-based tags between experts and novices for film clips in a crowdsourcing setting. The findings show high similarity in the number and type of tags (mostly factual). In the less frequent tags, however, experts used more domain-specific terms. We conclude that competitive games are not suited to elicit real expert-level descriptions. We also confirm that providing guidelines, based on conceptual frameworks that are more suited to moving images in a time-based fashion, could result in increasing the quality of the tags, thus allowing for creating more tag-based innovative services for online audiovisual heritage.

Abstract

The objective of the paper is to analyse the information (communication) process of fiction in order to increase our understanding of the different actors and factors involved in information processing. The methodology is that of the grounded theory, where previous studies of information process and fiction content representation are compared with the results of an empirical study in which library patrons and library professionals were asked to index and abstract five different kinds of novels.

Abstract

The arts, humanities, and social sciences commonly borrow concepts and methods from the sciences, but interdisciplinary borrowing seldom occurs in the opposite direction. Research on narrative discourse is relevant to problems of documentary storage and retrieval, for the arts and humanities in particular, but also for other broad areas of knowledge. This paper views the potential application of narrative discourse analysis to information storage and retrieval problems from 2 perspectives: 1) analysis and comparison of narrative documents in all disciplines may be simplified if fundamental categories that occur in narrative documents can be isolated; and 2) the possibility of subdividing the world of knowledge initially into narrative and non-narrative documents is explored with particular attention to Werlich's work on text types

Abstract

This study explores ways to assist users who are primarily interested in finding a good story, regardless of format or literary form. The emphasis is on materials classed in the Arts (700s) and Literature (800s) in the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) system. Features from two prototypes, FictionFinder and DeweyBrowser, are being combined to attempt to assist users in finding terms to input while providing a holistic approach to finding works with imaginary content.
