[ISLMA-Share] Trump biography cataloging

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Yes, that's similar to what's been done in Princeville High School.
The previous librarian cataloged all biographies as 92 (+ the first 3
letters of the last name) and collective biographies as 920 (+ first 3
letters of author's last name). I've continued that system; teachers and
students were used to that format. #whateverworks
Dewey is meant as an aid, not a tyrant. You can adjust call numbers to fit
your shelving system as you feel is best for you school situation.
