Maureen and all:
I learned in a semester cataloging course to always give the title of
responsibility to the one found on the title page. And it bothers me, too, to shelve
classic works all over the place according to the various adapted by or
abridged versions. I like easy access, not just on OPAC, but physically on the shelf
as well. I also, learned that I can do anything reasonable within my own
library. So I came up with this - Say Shmoe adapts a Dickens, then FIC DIC SCH
(Fiction, Dickens, Schmoe). It works for me and in the elementary school, the
kids don't care. I haven't had any complaints from teachers either. Actually,
they don't know any better. OPAC tells them where to go and they retrieve. I love
my job!
