Reading bit by bit : Dracula Daily and digital serials as reading and literature promoting tools (English)
Abstract [en]

This study aims to examine the internet phenomen on Dracula Daily and whether or not it would be interesting to implement something similar in the library as a tool for reading promotion. A survey has been implemented in order to gather empirical data and was sent out on various social media platforms. Our research questions touch on the respondents’ attitude to reading of fiction and classical literature, the opinions of Dracula Daily among those who have read it, and if it would be of interest to implement a similar tool like Dracula Daily to the libraries. We implemented a qualitative content analysis and had reading practices as a theoretical basis. There were 62 answers in total of which seven were from people who had read Dracula Daily. We found that many found classics hard to read because of the language, the language was also what appealed to them about classics as well as the historical aspect. They read fiction for escapism and relaxation but found that they could have a hard time getting into a book. Dracula Daily provided a fun and easy way to read but could be hard to keep up with if you fall behind. The interest of implementing a concept like Dracula Daily to the library was very divided but it showed that there is interest.
