TARGET: shelf ranges

["Laura C. Young 813-499-2900" <YOUNGL@MAIL.FIRN.EDU>]

Somehow I missed this info in library school!  Can anyone tell me the
standard divisions for a  3-letter alphabetic shelving range?  (In my media
center, our local call# for fiction is the letter F, followed by the first
three letters of the authors last name.)  I want to produce some temporary
shelf labels on computer, since we recently renovated, & Im not ready to
decide on permanent labels.  I could rely on common sense, & an
understanding of English spelling, but there must be a standard.  Id also
like to if theres a media reference book which addresses "dumb" questions
like this, so I wont have to show my ignorance quite so publicly in future!
Thanks for the help.  Please reply directly:  YOUNGL@MAIL.FIRN.EDU
