Re: GEN: Cataloging Folk Tales

Dear LM_Netters.

Several years ago, we decided to modify our folklore cataloging to meet local 
needs, primarily student requests and teacher assignments.  It's worked for us.

Titles by Grimm and Andersen are cataloged using Grimm or Andersen no matter who 
did the retelling.  Extremely popular titles such as Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, 
Arabian Nights, etc., are cataloged with title main entries to keep all the 
versions together.  Retellers are listed in the PAC. We met as a group to choose 
the titles which would get the special treatment.

We've also used the same strategy for popular fiction such as the many Star Wars 
titles.  It keeps them all together.
