So I'm deciding what to do with biographies and I love this. I know you're putting biographies within the rest of your NF collection, but how many categories did you do? (Sports, space, inventors, athletes, etc.) And if you had a biography on Laura Ingalls Wilder, would you put that with your formerly 800s, or with her fiction books?<br /><br />Thanks!Miss Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18146784840802852821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-370513240342622404.post-48013398458719300962012-12-04T21:24:38.675-06:002012-12-04T21:24:38.675-06:00Hi Edna,
Thank you for the comment and thoughts. ...Hi Edna,<br /><br />Thank you for the comment and thoughts. :) Yes, they will still be labeled as Biographies as well. There are several of our books now that have multiple tags so the students can find them multiple ways. <br /><br />With the non-fiction narrative, could you also make that a tag within the MARC record? Then when they search this, they can find the ones that match up. Or even pull those into a section by themselves perhaps....Or a little label that is just for that, you can add to the spine.<br /><br />I hope this helps....Please let us all know what you decide to do. :) I find that really interesting. <br /><br />Have a wonderful week, ShannonShannon McClintock Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17204029519489158065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-370513240342622404.post-76388883599314653512012-11-30T14:08:39.153-06:002012-11-30T14:08:39.153-06:00I love this whole non-Dewey idea and am pushing fo...I love this whole non-Dewey idea and am pushing for it here at our school. The biography section has also been an area that I thought ought be included in the corresponding area of interest and you did it! One question-Do you still have them also labeled as bios in case a student comes in and needs to read a biography as happens in our Junior High when they do a biography unit? I also had a teacher ask me this week about non-fiction narrative and realized that we have no way to pull those up on our catalog as a category. Any thoughts?<br />Edna Vandervort- CrestwoodEdna Vandervorthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15017693004196861771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-370513240342622404.post-29256010404801073662012-11-29T09:17:41.512-06:002012-11-29T09:17:41.512-06:00Imagine what can happen when we as the adults deci...Imagine what can happen when we as the adults decide that the "way it has always been done" doesn't make a whole lot of sense. If we approach things from "what are we trying to accomplish" instead of "what did we do last year" then we can ALWAYS be making progress.<br /><br />Matt DMatt Dixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00119265167584194292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-370513240342622404.post-16007767773426585352012-11-29T09:01:58.109-06:002012-11-29T09:01:58.109-06:00Hi Maggie,

I am excited. <br /><br />Have a wonderful day, ShannonShannon McClintock Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17204029519489158065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-370513240342622404.post-61065031196317161832012-11-28T21:29:13.324-06:002012-11-28T21:29:13.324-06:00I love it!

I feel like students will be more likely to find them in their respective categories.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05024751885694707159noreply@blogger.com
