[ISLMA-Share] Classifying books about women in different fields

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I put “them or the women” in the 920’s. I all the books about individual people in 92. Then I teach the students that books about people are in alphabetical order y the FAMOUS persons last name, not the author.  That’s a song from Judy freeman.

I’m wondering if most libraries keep the titles classified this way, or change it to 920 collective biographies. What would be more intuitive for students?
