535:(Reclassification of Buried Alive). Bibliotekstjänst, 19 January 2009. In Swedish: "Även förlag och en av författarna medger nu den fiktiva karaktären. När boken ursprungligen kom 1995 fanns inga sådana uppgifter. Den presenterades som en sann historia och såväl recensenter som BTJ:s lektörer hade ingen avvikande uppfattning. Följaktligen klassificerade BTJ och nationalbibliografin boken på fackavdelning Eftersom vi bedömer ändringen som brådskande kommer vi i detta fall att frångå de normala rutinerna kring ändrat huvuduppslag (ÄHU) och med början måndag 19 januari starta rättningsarbetet". (Even the publishers and one of the authors now admit the fictitious character. When the book originally came in 1995, there were no such data. It was presented as a true story and neither the reviewers nor BTJ's assistants had a dissenting opinion. Consequently BTJ and National Bibliography classified the book as belonging to the non-fiction department Since we consider the change to be urgent, we will in this case depart from normal routines regarding changes in the main entry and beginning Monday, January 19 we will start the correction work).
