[aisle] Genre-fying

[Brooke Fleuette]

When genrefying, I start with the catalog record, and then also consider
the tags in Follett's Titlewave listing and also sometimes look at
GoodReads to see how readers have classified it.  I also seek student /
staff input if someone reads a book I am unsure about.  Don't be afraid to
change a book's genre listing if you feel a book isn't being discovered by
its ideal audience.  For example, after much discussion with my Rangers
Apprentice series fans, we moved it from fantasy to adventure.  My
voracious readers appreciate being part of the genre conversation and it
leads to some great book discussions!
I shelve series within each fiction genre.
