Title

Feeding with the spoon, or the effects of shelf classification of fiction on the loaning of fiction

Source

Information services and use. 17(1997) nos.2/3, S.159-169

Year

1997

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
