TARGET: How do you shelve series books?

[Thomas & Karen Mitchell <kg7u@OLYMPUS.NET>]

Dear fellow librarians,

What do you do with your fiction series books (for example
the American Girl or Dear America books) which are written
by different authors?  Mine are currently shelved on the
regular fiction shelves under the various authors' last
name, but this has become increasingly cumbersome.  Today,
after once again having to go from Tripp to Schur to Shaw to
Porter to show some of my students where the American Girl
books were, I decided enough was enough.   Something else
has to be done.  So, I'd like to take a poll here.  Do you:

1)    Have them on the regular fiction shelves under the
authors' names?

2)    Have them on the regular fiction shelves, but under
the series name, with call numbers such as F AME or F DEA,
so that all of them are shelved together?

3)    Have them on shelves in a separate section devoted
exclusively to series books?

4)    Do something else I haven't thought of?

I will be glad to post a hit when I get the answers
collated.  Thanks so much.
