TARGET: Re-classification of Collective Bio (920)

[Laura Strickland <MayportMS@AOL.COM>]

I read with interest the comments about the biographies.  However, my
question deals with the collective biographies.  Do any of you pull them and
shelve them in their Dewey subject area...for example a book on Venus and
Selena Williams would be shelved with the tennis books; a book on the best
defenders in the NFL would be with football books; a book on all of the US
Presidents might be shelved in either American history or government.  I have
found that students miss the 920's completely.  They may browse the subject
area or the biography section....but never the 920's.  How have you resolved
this? Book vendors have told me they only put 920's on collective
bio's....they "can't"  (or won't) put subject area call numbers on books.
Any suggestions?
