[LM_NET] YF or JF?

I've searched the archives but I guess I haven't found the right search term 
yet.  Those of you that split your collections in Juvenille Fiction and 
Young Adult Fiction, or something approximating that, would you share how 
you determine where to put it?

I've found some guidelines in the archives, but I'm wondering if anyone has 
a source for the general interest level vs grade/reading level correlation.  
I'm thinking the interest level is a more important factor than the reading 
level/grade level in putting in juvenille or young adult because the 
interest level will deal with content, not reading ability.  We all know 9th 
graders reading on a 2nd grade level (sadly!) and 2nd graders reading on a 
6th grade level (hooray!)  so the interest level makes more sense to me.  
Any insight from the wisdom of the list?

BTW, I'm still accepting folks who wish to be 'counted' among the various 
types of school librarians.  I've only had about a dozen responses, maybe 
everyone is off on summer vacation (as I probably should be!)
