I use the Titanic books as an example for students as to why they MUST learn to use
the OPAC. I agree with you that it would be much easier if they were together.
Sometimes I think we do aggressive recataloging to group things in the elementary
collection to make it easier for our patrons. I wish someone would design easy
little placeholders that look like books so I could leave messages for my students
like:
You will find the top ten rivers in the 900's
More of this series is in the 362's
Don't forget to check the OPAC for fiction on this topic
