In the diploma seminar, we analyzed 4 user interfaces of library catalogs and 4 other tools for searching and discovering fiction. The purpose of the seminar was to analyze and present the functionalities offered by modern user interfaces of library catalogs for searching and discovering fiction, and to compare these possibilities with the functionality of other tools for searching and discovering fiction. As part of the research, we only took into account those options that are used to search for fiction. The results of the research showed that of all the analyzed user interfaces of library catalogs and other search and discovery tools, the Seattle Public Library's fiction catalog is the most user-friendly and sophisticated, and offers the most variety of options for both query searching and discovery.
