The librarian before me had started to genrefy the fiction section. He had a couple of things he'd started that he asked if I would continue, and this was one of them. Most *everything* is now sorted and shelved based on a genre. Sorting was a full two-day job since most of the books already had an identified genre. There are books in every section, however, that still need to be labeled, and I've got a sizable stack I need to research a bit to know where in the world they should rest. Here are some things I've noticed: Some things are just flat out hard to classify. Some things are way too easy to classify and classify and classify. Some books could go in multiple sections, which makes me wonder if we should have a general fiction section. Some sections are really large. Realistic and Fantasy are in this library. Maybe there are some sub-genres that could be pulled out? Some books have too many stickers on the spines. *bleh* I think you need some written guidelines...
