Re: [LM_NET] Cataloging Question

[Robert Eiffert <beiffert@COMCAST.NET>]

I put all the graphic novels in a section at the end of our regular fiction 
section. Physically, it was the best area for promotion
and organization. We used GN for prefix.  There are a couple of anomalies in our 
cataloging that way - the 9/11 Artists Responds for
example, but I think those get better circulation than if they were in history, or 
social sciences sections.

A project we're starting soon is to move all the Garfield, Calvin and Hobbes, etc 
from 741 to the 800's with rest of humor books.
