[ISLMA-Share] biography organization

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Our biography section is organized by Dewey then the letters of the subject’s last name.  This keeps all of the baseball players, actors, etc. together on the shelves.  This way, too, if students learn the Dewey number for a topic that interests them it’s an easy transition between nonfiction and biography shelves.

For example, I want to put artists together, scientists, etc, but I have too many already I don't know where to put, telling me that i'm missing some important categories.
