Expand the Literary Form Facet to Include Audiobooks with LitText Coding I am requesting an enhancement to add LitText to the Literary Form facet, as audio materials are currently not represented. Audio materials that contain Literary Text (LitText) coding should be included in the Literary Form facet to provide a complete and consistent discovery experience. Including these titles would improve patron access by allowing users to accurately filter and find fiction and nonfiction audiobooks that match their interests, while also supporting reader's advisory efforts and reducing staff time spent locating materials manually. Currently, the exclusion of audio materials results in incomplete filtering, causing patrons to miss relevant titles and creating confusion when the facet does not return all applicable items. Expanding the Literary Form facet to include audio materials with LitText coding would improve search accuracy, enhance accessibility, provide a more intuitive browsing experience, and ensure consistent discovery across all formats, including print, eBooks, and audiobooks.
