Abstract

This paper examines the content description of fictional works, specifically novels. The data for the empirical part of the study was gathered in Finnish public libraries. The aim of the study is to find out how library clients and library professionals of public libraries describe novels by abstracting them - what are differences in their characterisations and what are the similarities between their abstracts. Also, a taxonomy of novel abstracts is given. The abstracts are classified into four categories in the taxonomy: plot or thematic abstracts, cultural-historical abstracts, subjective or personal abstracts and critical abstracts. In the final portion of the paper, a model for a search and retrieval system for fiction is presented.
