[ISLMA-Share] dewey for mammals

Wed Jan 25 08:39:04 CST 2017

I didn't think to do this with animals and sports. That's fantastic.  I did
something similar with all my folktales.  I switched their call number to
Folklore and then the common tale like Folklore Pigs for the 3 little pigs,
Folklore Cinder, Folklore Gold (Goldilocks). Not perfect, but it at least
grouped all the folk tales that teachers like to grab for compare and
contrast lessons.
