Subject: Target: Cataloging question
> Hi,
> I'm wondering which Dewey number most schools are assigning to
> biographical AV items or books on authors? Most of what we have in our
> union catalog are assigned a DD # of 921. We have been receiving
> some lately from our vendor with an 813 number for American fiction writers.
> These items are biographical in content and would not be considered
> criticisms of the authors' works. I can see why items of criticisms
> of works of major classical authors might be cataloged that way, but
> not modern children's or young adult authors' biographical
> information. Has anyone noticed a movement in the direction of using
> 813 more or are most people still using 921 for biographical items?
> Thanks for your help.
