LM_NET: Library Media Networking
I have a friend who is the librarian in a small private high school library.
She has been assisting a local grade school with moving and setting up their
library and has noticed discrepancies with the way various school libraries
catalog and shelve their single and collective biographies. She would like to
know if there is a definitive way to catalog single biographies - 92 or 921?
What schedule do you use? HOw do you catalog collective biographies - 920?
Where are biographies, both single and collective supposed to be shelved? Does
it really matter? She has taken an undergraduate cataloging course but says
that Dewey does not treat single biographies. Any help would be appreciated. I
have worked with LC for the past 8 years and do not remember much about Dewey
cataloging. TIA, Nancy Palma, Venango Campus, Clarion Univ. of PA, Oil City,PA
