How successful they are will depend on subject indexing applied in these services (among other factors). The study aimed to determine: (1) to what degree are Queerlit books identified as LGBTQ+\u00a0books in widely used information services, in particular Google Books, LibraryThing and Goodreads; and, (2) whether metadata in these information services could be considered of value for the Queerlit database and complement its highly extensive and highly specific indexing.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study compared keywords (subject index terms, tags) assigned to works of Swedish LGBTQ+\u00a0fiction across three commercial services: Google Books, Goodreads and LibraryThing, against the curated database, Queerlit.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Findings<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of the 1320 LGBTQ+\u00a0works in Queerlit, only a small portion was found in the three web services: 8.26% on Google Books (n\u00a0=\u00a0109), 13.26% on Goodreads (n\u00a0=\u00a0175), while about half on LibraryThing (55.3%, n\u00a0=\u00a0730). This underrepresentation of Swedish LGBTQ+\u00a0works in the three international commercial information services makes them hardly of value to the readers. This is exacerbated by the fact that only a minority of Queerlit books found in the three services are categorised as LGBTQ+. The Queerlit database might benefit from consulting social tagging services when indexing both LGBTQ+\u00a0specific and general themes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>No earlier study compared in a systematic manner four different information retrieval systems and identified challenges as well as potential benefits in relation to finding LGBTQ+\u00a0fiction.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/jd-10-2024-0242","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,7]],"date-time":"2025-02-07T16:59:26Z","timestamp":1738947566000},"page":"85-100","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Representation of Swedish LGBTQ+ fiction in commercial information services"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"81","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4169-4777","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Koraljka","family":"Golub","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Arts and Humanities, Linneaus University Department of Cultural Sciences, , ,","place":["V\u00e4xj\u00f6, Sweden"]}]},{"given":"Daniel","family":"Ocic Ihrmark","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Arts and Humanities, Linneaus University Department of Cultural Sciences, , ,","place":["V\u00e4xj\u00f6, Sweden"]}]}],"member":"140","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,11]]},"reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"2025121000522398900_ref001","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"309","DOI":"10.1080\/19322900903341099","article-title":"Transcending library catalogs.
