ANALIZA ODABRANIH ANOTACIJA KNJIGA ZA MLADE U SLOVENIJI OBJAVLJENIH U RAZDOBLJU OD 2017. DO 2022.

Purpose: The paper aims to identify appropriate structura l elements for writing annotations intended for young adults. We also wanted to identify if there are any differences between the annotations from the guides for reading quality youth books and the annotations from the portal Dobreknjige.si. Approach/methodology/design: For the purposes of this research the content method was used. Sixty annotations for young adults from the guides for reading quality youth books and sixty annotations from the portal Dobreknjige.si were included in the research. The coding scheme consisted of fourteen structural elements. They were divided into sentences and then the corresponding structural element or elements were assigned to each sentence. Findings: The annotations included in the research on average contained six structural elements. Most commonly, the annotations included the following structural elements: description of the literary work, characters, theme, circumstances of the origin of the literary work and other features related to the work, evaluation, and author. The differences between annotations from the guides and those from the web portal manifested mainly in the length of the annotations. Research limitations/implications: The research was limited only to annotations prepared by librarians. Practical implications: The findings of the research will be useful for librarians who publish annotations on the portal Dobreknjige.si, as well as for writing guides for reading quality youth books. Social implications: The annotations are also important because, among other things, they represent one of the ways in which we can present the world of literature to young adults or other interested public. Originality/value: The paper offers valuable insights into weather annotations should be adapted to certain types of readers, and is it possible to have a standardized form of annotations.
