[aisle] 811 vs. 808.1

[Brooke Fleuette]

We have recently dealt with this in our library.  I decided that the
students really didn't care whether the poems were in an anthology, all by
one author, or by an author in a different country. For simplicity's sake,
we made the call number for all poetry 811 and now they are discovering new
books that had been on the shelf the entire time.
