Den här uppsatsen behandlar frågor om hur individer söker skönlitteratur. Hur väljer människor att läsa det de läser? Vilka strategier använder de sig av för att söka skönlitteratur? Hur söker man skönlitteratur på biblioteket? Är de verktyg som finns att tillgå en tillräcklig resurs för låntagare när de söker litteratur på biblioteken? I den kvalitativa intervjustudien framkommer att indexering och Katalogisering är verktyg av underordnad roll vid sökning av skönlitteratur. I slutdiskussionen presenteras idéer om hur biblioteken kan använda sig av andra vägar för att presentera läsare med böcker som passar deras behov..

This essay is dealing with the difficulties of cataloging and classifying anonymi and other kinds of literature without the components which have set the norm for bibliographic cataloging, i.e. a defined author, a standardized title etc. A typical example of this kind of literature is folklore and folktales, which are dealt with thoroughly here. The character of and the society's historical view upon the folk literature, as literature considered, are being described, as is the evolution of rules for cataloging in general. The folk literature is mostly systematized after a different pattern from other literature, since bibliographical facts are often missing.

Denna processundersökning på kandidatnivå beskriver inköpsprocessen och exponeringen av manga vid Umeås filialbibliotek. Undersökningens syfte var att genom enkät- och fältundersökningar beskriva inköpsprocess, exponering och förmedlingen av manga för att kunna presentera nya förslag för placering, märkning och förmedling av manga vid Umeås filialbibliotek.Undersökningen utgick ifrån följande frågeställningar:Var finner biblioteken information kring aktuell manga för inköp? Vad påverkar vilken manga som köps in?Hur ser Katalogisering och uppdelningen av manga ut och hur går Katalogisering av manga till vid Umeås filialbibliotek?Hur ser bibliotekens utbud och exponering av manga ut? Finns det eller har det funnits någon plan för förmedling och exponering av manga vid Umeås filialbibliotek? Finns det ett behov av mer förmedling av manga idag? Vad har tidigare och vad påverkar idag exponeringen och förmedlingen av manga vid Umeås filialbibliotek?Undersökningen presenterar en kort översikt över mangans- och de västerländska tecknade seriernas delade historia, mangans plats på de svenska filialbiblioteken idag och tidigare relevant forskning. I den tidigare forskningen presenteras moralpanik, populärkultur och skräplitteratur som en anledning till de fördomar som påverkar förmedlingen av manga idag och jämförs med Frankrikes starka seriekultur och marknad för manga.För att undersöka inköpsprocess, förmedling och exponering utfördes 17 enkätundersökningar i samband med 9 fältundersökningar vid Umeås filialbibliotek. Detta visade att mangan ofta köps in utan urval, på grund av en brist på manga översatt till svenska.

The art of riding is a fugitive art, which signifies that the means available for documentation of performances are insufficient, and that the equipment used by the old masters are important clues for the understanding of their art. The most specialized tool used for riding is the bit, in particular the curb. As museum catalogues become accessible to the public through the internet, riders will look for information about bits. It is then important that the information provided in the catalogues is valid not just for the curator, archaeologist or art historian, but also for the rider.In this paper, I add context to the bits by explaining two opposing philosophies of bitting, and how they affect the design of the bits. This is followed by a brief history of the art of riding and how the bits have evolved since the 16?th century.

(Tiden, minnet, kriget och dess följder. Studier i Eyvind Johnsons verk, särskilt noveller. Fredrik Smeds, D-uppsats i Litteraturvetenskap, Karlstads universitet, Institutionen för kultur och kommunikation, vt 2004.) Författaren undersöker berättartekniken i fyra av Eyvind Johnsons noveller om nutida krig och deras följder. Det indirekta skrivsättet om kriget studeras särskilt. Minnet och tiden uppmärksammas.

The purpose of this thesis is to present a review of research themes and practice in the field of art image registration. The objectives of the review are twofold. The primary task is to distinguish which problems, in regard to theory and practice, that have been dealt with in the field of art image registration and the secondary task is to investigate which discursive, institutional and tool-related factors have had an impact on theoretical discussions and practice in the art image domain. The empirical content in the review is structured according to four epistemological viewpoints and is analyzed with a domain analytical approach. The result of the study is that two major problems are frequently discussed in the art image domain, namely lack of standardization and which discourse is the best suited for registration of art images.

Denna studie har analyserat fyra forumtrådar från det svenska Internetforumet Flashback Forum. Jag har specifikt valt att studera forumets underavdelning för diskussioner rörande feminism och jämställdhet. Jag har ? genom närläsning, diskursanalys och Katalogisering av foruminläggen ? försökt att analysera och ?konstruera? de diskurser som dominerar denna forumavdelning, för att förstå hur skribenterna artikulerar tecken som ?feminism? och ?kroppen?. Mina slutsatser är att två diskurser tydligt dominerar på forumavdelningen.

The aim of this thesis is to discuss selected parts of cataloguing both from a practical and a theoretical viewpoint. It presents the basic grounds for cataloguing of printed as well as non-printed materials. The focus lies on the main entry heading and its author/title problem concerning film. The thesis theoretical part consists of an analysis of central documents dealing with the author concept from both a library- and information science perspective and a film science perspective. The practical part consists of interviews from two Swedish public libraries, which have different approaches on presenting films.

The aim of this thesis is to analyse the possibility to identify the FRBR entity expression from existing catalogue records performed within the context of Swedish cataloguing rules. The empirical study uses a sample of records from the catalogue within the library at the University College of Borås. To begin with, the thesis reports some of the earlier discussion about the FRBR model. That gives an understanding of which problems the model has and justifies the study?s delimitation towards expression.

In this thesis, the TEI (Text Encoding Initiative) encoding scheme is investigated as a system for storing metadata about manuscript material and 18th century first prints in the Swedenborg Archives at the Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences. The aim of the study is to test the functionality of TEI as a metadata system in cataloguing a special collection. Some criteria of functionality are formulated, and examples of encoded catalogue entries are described and analysed. It is demonstrated how descriptive metadata have been registered within the TEI header, while structural metadata have been recorded within the text element of the TEI file. On the whole, TEI is considered to be a functional tool that matches the present purposes.

The purpose with this thesis is to research what function the National Library Catalogue of Sweden (LIBRIS) has as an information resource for Chinese language material. How is LIBRIS used as an information resource seen from the point of view of a users specific language need. This will be exemplified through an empirical survey of three user groups with different prerequisites concerning their knowledge in Chinese. Group A were beginners and had studied Chinese for one year. Group B were advanced students who were studying their third year of Chinese.

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the concept of a work and the problems with its definition and will also examine bibliographic relationships. The main question is what are the boundaries of a work and at what point a work becomes another. What is the meaning of the concept of a work within the context of the library? What are the solutions of bibliographic relationships and the concept of a work in KRS and FRBR? The thesis is based on a literature review. In the literature I have examined the discussions of the work and bibliographic relationships.

The aim of this thesis is to describe and compare the cataloguing rules for sound recordings: the rules used by a specialised archive and common libraries respectively. We will put the rules in relation to purposes (the objectives of a bibliographic system) and principles (directives that guide the construction of a bibliographic language). The first question to be answered is in which way the set of rules used by a specialised archive differ from the one used by common libraries. The second question examines if and how the differences can be derived from purposes and principles. The sets of rules studied are KRS (chapter 6) and the Swedish version of the IASA Cataloguing Rules (1999), worked out by the National Archive of Sound and Moving Images (SLBA).

The aim of this thesis is to explore the concept of the work and the problems with the definition of it. The concept is an important starting-point when it comes to cataloguing musical works and creating uniform titles. Another aim is to find out other difficulties that are frequent in cataloguing printed music. In the theoretical part of this thesis Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records FRBR and the Swedish cataloguing rules KRS are important tools. The FRBR-model and the four entities work, expression, manifestation and item are described.

The Library of Uppsala University has decided to change their classification system from the Swedish SAB system to the American Dewey Decimal Classification. One of the main reasons for this decison was that Kungliga biblioteket also has made an exchange between these systems. Due to that, the national bibliography of Sweden classifies Swedish documents according to Dewey Decimal Classification and the SAB system is no longer maintained. A transition to Dewey Decimal Classification will enable Swedish librarians to import foreign catalouge posts and classification codes and will provide them with a common standard between their libraries and other libraries due to the use of the same international classification system. It is disputed whether the Dewey Decimal Classification is equally suitable for all subjects.
