We use Dewey and children's books are not separated out. Works fine for us. ---------------------------------------------------- Rebecca Rich-Wulfmeyer, CA Chief Librarian and Archivist Albany Institute of History and Art 125 Washington Avenue Albany, NY 12210 (518) 463-4478 t (518) 463-5506 f http://www.albanyinstitute.org <http://www.albanyinstitute.org/> -----Original Message----- From: Dennis Kreps [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Wednesday, May 25, 2005 9:31 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [ARLIS-L] Childrens literature/picture books Art/Musuem library folks: Any of you folks who have childrens literature collections...how do you catalog them? Do you catalog them in LC (or Dewey), or do you catalog them in an alphabetical by author/picture book sort of way...? Our collections are cataloged in LC, and half the childrens lit is in LC, and half as "picture books." I would just like to find out what you folks consider "standard" here. I really appreciate any thoughts you all have.
