Target: Shelving bilingual books

[Donna Guild <donnaguild@CHARTER.NET>]

Hi Everyone,

We are purchasing a growing number of bilingual books for our libraries for
our Spanish-speaking students. Those are the books that have the stories
written in both English and Spanish. We are not sure how to shelve them.
Should they be put together in a group by themselves, or, where they would
normally be shelved alphabetically or numerically if they were books written
in English?

Also, in some of our libraries the Spanish books are separated, and in some
they are shelved right next to the English version. What do you do with your
foreign language titles?

Thanks for your suggestions.
