[LM_NET] Shelving Question

[Debbie Reese <debreese@UIUC.EDU>]

Wondering....  There are many picture books that look like American Indian 
folktales but are actually works of fiction created by an author who was 
inspired by American Indian stories.

How do librarians decide where to shelve made-up myths and legends?
