ELEM: "E" prefixes & location

[Laura Mench <lmench@EARTHLINK.NET>]

Hi everyone!

I'm wondering to what extent any of you have separate sections in your
library for "E" (picture books) and "Easy Reader/Beginning Chapter" type
books.  Advantages/disadvantages?

The library I started working at this year has some books color-coded &
labeled "ER" and "BC" as well as "E" books.  The ER and BC books are kept in
a different section.  The main problem is that ALL books are entered into
the computer as E regardless of what is on the spine.  We'll be breaking
ground (hopefully) for a new building this summer and I'm wondering what I
should plan to do... I can keep ER types separate and  update the computer
records or put all E books together and color code the ER types so students
could self-select those.

Suggestions...comments...are appreciated!

Thanks!
