Maggie, In the school where I just moved this year, the paperbacks were arranged alphabetically by TITLE. Since the library is on four levels, and some paperbacks were downstairs, while some were on the top level with the other fiction, I decided to re-catalog all the paperbacks (most of which were not cataloged at all), and just put them all together. Several students have come in the past few weeks wanting another book by an author they liked--and you know the results. We are not automated yet, but I figured we'd have to do the re-cataloging sooner or later for that reason too.
