I think it would depend on how many have the same first three letters. I
think I would print out a list of the Fiction and see how many there are
that might create shelving or patron problems and go from there. I don't
have that many Fiction, and I have high schoolers, so I just use F ADA.
If I had a lot and there were many with the same three letters, but
different last names and it created confusion I would change it.
