Wendy -
When you teach library skills you teach Life Skills. First graders who know how to
find a book by the author will be able to do that for the rest of their lives.
It isn't hard to figure out an author, if there is a catalog. And if you HAVE to
know an author it becomes part of your routine and therefore not too hard.
Stick to the plan. It works.

> I have a third grade teacher who asked her students how they thought
> books should be shelved in their classroom library. The students
> thought they should be shelved by title, because often they don't
> remember who the author is, and if they recommend a book to another
> student, they can find it faster. She came to me and asked my opinion,
> wondering if it would confuse them when they came to the library.

> What do you think? Should we remain consistent or does it matter?
