<div dir="ltr">Thanks so much for sharing these ideas! I have been talking about reorganizing the nonfiction (informational text) section of my library for two years. I moved some books into the Narrative section, but I have a lot more to do~! I watched a webinar with Melissa Stewart that talked about 5 kinds of nonfiction. This is more for K-8 but thought I would share just in case anyone was interested. <div><br><div>The 5 kinds Melissa lists are: Browseable, Active, Traditional, Expository Literature and Narrative. Here is the link to here description of each section : <a href="https://www.melissa-stewart.com/img2018/pdfs/5_Kinds_of_Nonfiction_SLJ_May_2018.pdf">https://www.melissa-stewart.com/img2018/pdfs/5_Kinds_of_Nonfiction_SLJ_May_2018.pdf</a>, <a href="https://www.melissa-stewart.com/img2018/pdfs/5knf/GettingStarted.pdf">https://www.melissa-stewart.com/img2018/pdfs/5knf/GettingStarted.pdf</a></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Jan 19, 2022 at 2:11 PM Schauff, Kristine via AISLE <<a href="mailto:aisle@list.railslibraries.info">aisle@list.railslibraries.info</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hi Amy,<div><br></div><div>I am doing the same thing in my library. I'm totally reimagining Dewey to work better for how our students and teachers use NF. I kind of made my system up as I went along using Dewey actually in a subordinate role since it is a thematic system to start with but is old and has some outdated notions of relationships-- like the protests, civil rights, etc being so distant from history which is the lens we use to visit those events. So I'm fixing those relationships as I go....it's slow but I started with history and began pulling in the related subjects like government, civil rights, women's suffrage, slavery (American race based NOT white or child or trafficking). I am not done yet, but I'm happy with how it's going. Literature (800s), 700s, and 000s also benefited from simplified organization. </div><div><br></div><div>Feel free to contact me off list if you have any questions.... but I think you'll be happy you did this.<br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><i>---------</i></div><div dir="ltr"><i>Mrs. Kristine Schauff,</i> Library Media Specialist</div><div dir="ltr"><br><div>Rock Falls High School</div><div>101 - 12th Ave.</div><div>Rock Falls, IL 61071</div><div>815-625-3886 x248</div><div><a href="mailto:schauffk@rfhs301.org" target="_blank">schauffk@rfhs301.org</a> (respond to me directly)</div><div><a href="mailto:library@rfhs301.org" target="_blank">library@rfhs301.org</a> (general library question)</div><div><a href="http://www.rfhs301.org" target="_blank">School website</a></div><div><a href="https://rockriver.tlcdelivers.com:8480/?config=rfh#" target="_blank">Online catalog</a><br></div><div><a href="http://sites.google.com/rfhs301.org/rfhslibrary/home" target="_blank">Library Website</a></div><div>RAILS: ILDS/XRF/RTLY-14</div><div>OCLC: LJ5</div><div><p><font face="tahoma, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:7.5pt;color:black"><img src="https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1yFgdOi0tMPnDseXFGgzWubopiQQs6HI1&revid=0B-WVS5YhIFwBQktBakhUd2o2aVg3VERkc1lTZnM5WjcxMHRnPQ" width="82" height="96"><img src="https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1GMx4RW6ciir0qAn105JSAMp5y4ydiyWW&revid=0B-WVS5YhIFwBRG1sS3NmOUJBYjhUMC9iTGJ3dGU2SDc3dEgwPQ" width="96" height="65"> <br></span></font></p><p><font face="tahoma, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:7.5pt;color:black">CONFIDENTIALITY NOTE</span></font></p><p><span style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;color:black;font-size:7.5pt">This message may contain confidential information intended only for use of the person or persons named above and may contain communication protected by the Illinois School Student Records Act.
