While potentials for information searching in Scandinavian libraries are improving due to the rapid technological developments, the librarians and library users in Scandinavia are still facing the problem of limited access to fiction literature. Even though the interest in providing subject access to fiction literature has a long history, and various classification schemes for shelf arrangement have been proposed, the mediation of fiction by Scandinavian libraries has been constrained due to i.a. i) the hitherto often underprivileged status of fiction compared with non-fiction as sources to knowledge, and related to this: ii) the very few empirical studies of users' needs and goals for fiction searching, and iii) the special problems related to subject analysis of fiction.Downloads
