[aisle] Call Numbers

[Kami Spatzek]

Hi!

I really like the direction of my library's organization and think the
students would agree too.  We are a K-6 school and have 13 sections, some
examples are listed below:

E-Everybody (picture books)
LL-Leveled Library (books leveled by publisher, ie Blastoff Readers, Ready
to Read, Scholastic etc)
F-Fiction (chapter books interest based 3-6)
JF-Juvenile Fiction (chapter books interest based K-3)
SF-Series Fiction (chapter books 3-6 in a series, suggested that they are
read in order)

We have also divided our informational texts into a Juvenile Nonfiction and
our Graphic Novels (regular and Juvenile)

Our 13 sections are listed in our Titlewave account with a drop down menu
so that the call number reflects the section when we purchase MARC records
and processing.

Hope you find something that works for you and your students!
