For the mythological tales, I use 398.2.

I’m still using Dewey’s 12 edition, because I couldn’t justify buying a newer copy with such a small budget. On page 107, it explains to use 398.2 when in doubt. Hence, I use 398.2 for the stories. Is it perfect? No, but it is consistent.

I use 292 when it is an explanation of the tale. We only have 6 books that explain the classical myths.

Sincerely,

Alan, Librarian serving Brooks Middle School

For graphic novels, we call them Graphic Readers because our collection includes both novels and nonfiction.  The term was less confusing for students who learned that novels are fiction.  We catalog with the general GR heading, then use F for fiction or the usual nonfiction number.  We do not use the 741 call number at all.  For mythology, we use 292.
                GR                          GR
                F                              292
                HOR                       SMI

We also add the volume number if there is a series.
                GR
                F

Hi all,

I confess...I don't do much in the way of cataloging books (I have an associate, thank goodness).

But we are recatalogging our graphic novels from all 741.5 to a call number that says either:

GN         OR           GN
741.5                 dewey # for content
AUT                        AUT

So that we have fiction and non-ficiton GN call numbers in one GN area.

But, I am having trouble with graphic novels for Mythology.  The publishers say 741.5, but shouldn't it be 883?

Please advise!  TIA!
