[aisle] 811 vs. 808.1

[Brian Andrusyk]

This is how I interpret it.

808.1 for general poetry from more than one country   (American, British, Australian… poets in one book)
811 for American Poetry
821 for British poetry

Hi

We are in the process of weeding and reorganizing our poetry sections. It seems a mess with the same "type" of poetry in two different places. Some books are very old in our collection, maybe that's why. But can anyone weigh in with advice on reorganizing Poetry within the Dewey system?


Thank you!
Lori
