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

Several systems for the classification of fiction have been proposed to date, but experience shows that such classification partially depends on the culture and literary education in specific countries. Slovenian public libraries have traditionally used UDC as the only subject information on belles-lettres. Research has shown that users would prefer richer subject information. Therefore an attempt was made to enhance UDC by adding subject information, that should be helpful to users and librarians. The newly proposed Alternative Model system contains lists of verbal and alpha-numerical denotations for the basic groups of belles-lettres book material (main-genres: lyrics, drama, epics) and all other categorical criteria (language of the original literary work, literature to which the work belongs, genre, sub-genre) and half-categorical (accessibility of the content of literary works, origin within the periods of literary history, the century in which the literary work was written, the rhythm of the language). All these lists are available, but not included in this paper. The idea of the Alternative Model system is to show the possibilities of making the classification of belles-lettres in libraries more helpful, efficient and exact.

Abstract

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to explore the information needs of one user group, public library fiction readers, in order to reveal a design of an online community at the local level. Examination of user-generated metadata can reveal new approaches to information architecture. Design/methodology/approach - A literature review into behaviors of virtual communities; surveying public library readers regarding search behavior characteristics - the survey included a sample "tagging" exercise to determine whether public library communities could create meaningful metadata for retrieval purposes. Findings - The use of relevance as an indicator of tag quality is flawed: in a survey, public library readers "tagged" the novel The Da Vinci Code. The resulting collection of tags provided a richer description of the book than did the social book-related web site www.librarything.com. Tag collections can be broken down into different categories, each reflecting a different "facet" of the novel: character, plot, subject/topic, setting, and genre. Faceted structure to tags enables users to choose the context of the tag to the novel. Research limitations/implications - This research is relevant in the world of social networking sites, online communities, or any other such system where users generate descriptive metadata. Examination of such metadata can reveal facets, which can guide the architect/librarian in the design of a versatile architecture. Originality/value - This research resulted in a manifold design for a public-library-based online community that allowed for the full expression of users' information needs. This research introduces a faceted structure to current approaches for user-generated metadata, adding versatility to search terms.

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

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

The paper discusses the consistency of fiction indexing of library professionals and patrons based on an empirical test. Indexing was carried out with a Finnish fictional thesaurus and all of the test persons indexed the same five novels. The consistency of indexing was determined to be low; several reasons are postulated. Also an algorithm for typified indexing of fiction is given as well as some suggestions for the development of fiction information retrieval systems and content representation.

Abstract

Die vorliegende Arbeit erläutert die Begriffe Belletristik und fiktionale Literatur und skizziert literaturwissenschaftliche Kategorisierungen fiktionaler Literatur sowie des Romans. Nach einem Kapitel, das historische Entwicklungen und Positionen der Literaturkritik erörtert, wird Heydebrands Modell zur Wertung literarischer Texte vorgestellt. Funktionen und Inhalte feuilletonistischer Literaturkritik sowie Analyseschritte zur Metakritik werden nach Anz referiert. Es folgt die Beschreibung von Arbeitsorganisation und Angebot des ID (Informationsdienst) der ekz (Einkaufszentrale für Bibliotheken). Funktionen der ID-Begutachtungen sowie die Arbeitsrichtlinien für Rezensenten Schöner Literatur werden dargelegt. Feuilleton-Rezensionen von Romanen Donna Leons, Henning Mankells, Michael Frayns und Ralf Rothmanns werden den entsprechenden Begutachtungen des ID gegenübergestellt. Daran schließt sich die Analyse von weiteren 80 ID-Rezensionen zur Belletristik aus den Jahren 2003-2005 an. Die Ergebnisse lassen sich folgendermaßen zusammenfassen: Feuilleton-Rezensionen bewerten in erster Linie die literarische Qualität der Romane. Die Unterhaltungsfunktion hat im Feuilleton Priorität, dann folgen Information, Beratung, Belehrung und Selbstdarstellung des Rezensenten. Die Begutachtungen des Informationsdienstes haben primär informierende Funktion für den Bestandsaufbau und sind nach den ID-Arbeitsrichtlinien für Rezensenten strukturiert. Inwieweit die 80 Rezensionen die einzelnen Aspekte der Arbeitsrichtlinien beachten, wird nach Genres differenziert untersucht und dargestellt. Insgesamt werden die analysierten ID-Rezensionen ihrer Informationsfunktion für Bibliothekarinnen und Bibliothekare gerecht.
