The bibliographic control of fiction.

LISZTES László

In Hungary bibliographic workshops of fiction and literary science have been established. The bibliographic control of fiction works published in serials has not, however, been organized. At the 2nd National Meeting on Bibliography (August 1990) the starting of a current fiction bibliography was raised and included in the recommendations. The present study suggests an organizational and methodological solution for its implementation and the institutional promotion of its use. The author holds the view that the retrospective and the current materials should be collected parallelly. In the organization of Hungarian bibliography a branch could be set up which would check the overlap between serials and collections on a regular basis, in order to better meet the needs of researchers. The author publishes calculations on the quantity of fiction publishing in Hungary and describes three versions for a current bibliography. He enumerates the organizations interested in the implementation and the preconditions of their mutually beneficial cooperation. It would be thus easier to find sponsors, to establish the system of data collection and services, based on modern technology. (pp. 418-424)
