Re: [LM_NET] GEN: series placement

[Connie Welch <cwelch@SOFTHOME.NET>]

You know, I don't see a problem with shelving series separately. In fact, I
do so, too.  But, I believe in the interest of teaching and understanding
book location to students that that series section needs to have a special
call number. Then, I think it all makes sense. So, I need to find a call
number that starts out  maybe F Ser ***? If so, I'd guess that the *** would
represent the name of the series, right? I am just thinking aloud here.
After all, isn't the bottom line when teaching location that each item in
the library has a special address (location); and that address is indicated
on the spine of the book as a call number. The call number can be discovered
by using the computer catalog, then one only has to go to the proper place
on the shelf (guided by the call number) and locate the book.

Yes, I teach K-8, can you tell?
