at supporting novice users developed with HyperCard
in an Apple Macintosh environment. A
multidimensional framework for fiction grouping
towards enhanced subject access with a working model
on sports fiction is attempted, establishing a matching
link between the users' search strategies and the
contents of the database. The experimental SPORTS
FICTION DATABASE contains one hundred works of
fiction distributed amongst five sporting settings:
AMERICAN FOOTBALL, BASEBALL, HORSE RACING, and
MOUNTAINEERING. To this end, image, sounds and
text are integrated to develop an user-friendly
interface establishing an effective interaction between
the user and the system. Finally, the designed system
Was tested in the laboratory environment in a limited
way. The reporting of this prototype system
encompasses the planning, functionality, and
evaluation of Fiction World supported with necessary
screen pictures.
