[ISLMA-Share] graphic books

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I had a large Graphic Novel Collection.  I included both American and Manga.  I did place a GN on the spine.  I included the 741.5 number and the author letters.  I placed it on the shelf in alphabetical by title or title/subject.  Ex.  All books about Spiderman went under Spiderman no matter the title.  In addition I placed a three letter code on the spine to help volunteers, students etc. place them on the shelf.  The spiderman books had the letters SPI on the spine. This really helped to shelve them and keep them organized.

>   Hi all.  Our school library originally housed our
>   graphic “novelâ€* collection on a special
>   shelf.  Now, however, our GN collection is growing
>   and we have many kinds of graphic books, not just
>   “novels." Keeping it organized in a useful way
>   is proving a challenge.  Do you split out your
>   graphic books into a separate collection? Do Manga
>   have a special place? Do you shelve graphic books in
>   the regular nonfiction and fiction collection and
>   put a G or GN on the spine label? What have you
>   found most useful?   I hope my question makes
>   sense.
>   Thoughts?
