[ISLMA-Share] Memoirs

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I am in the process of moving books from 920/921 to their Dewey section. All biographies and autobiographies/memoirs have a yellow spine label. The autobios also have a classification sticker. (see attached photo)

Subject: [ISLMA-Share] Memoirs

Hi all,

Internal debate happening in my head.  I am thinking of putting all my memoirs in 922 (next to my biographies in 921 on a separate wall).  My concern is that by not putting it into it's dewey subject number that I'll be missing kids who want to read books about people's stories from that subject.  For example, sports is big concern.  It's the most known and used section, so they all know it's 700's.  But if I take the sports memoirs out of the 700's and put it in 922, it's one more place for them to look for a book they want. Middle schoolers may just give up and not bother looking at 922.

What would you do? Does anyone have their memoirs in 922?  Or do you keep it with the dewey number?
