Training and developing stock knowledge is the key to this. With many genres, including crime, science fiction, family saga and fantasy, cover messages are very clear and staff just need the confidence and skills to interpret these. Some titles may require a quick scan of the blurb to identify genre and other titles still could be debated at length but sit quite happily in more than one genre. What's the worst that could happen?

Does anyone have any experience of managing front-line staff concerns about where to shelve genre items? Has anyone who has stopped fiction labelling any experience; particularly staff or customer responses that they can share?
