[aisle] biography labeling within nonfiction

[Monica Caldicott]

We have biographies filed within each corresponding Dewey section. We put
biographee's full last name on the spine, along with Dewey number and first
3 letters of author's last name. We also have a LIVES genre where we file
short, engaging, readable memoirs and autobiographies (including graphic);
those call numbers are LIVES AUT where AUT denotes first three letters of
author's last name.
