Dear LIS-Link subscribers
Here at City College we had just began alphabetising our stock in addition
to Dewey - with the view of helping students find what they want on the
shelves as quickly as possible. On the whole the process is fairly
straightforward, just using the first three letters of the authors
surname. However, some areas have given us pause for thought, namely art
and literature. Can anyone offer advice on whether they use the surname
of the artist, writer, poet in order to keep books together or the surname
of the author/editor of the book, which often in art and literature is not
the same. Also, would you put general critism or a video on several
French artists at the start of the appropriate sequence with or without
authors surname?
Any suggestions gratefully received!
Many thanks
Liz
