After reading Catalog It!, I do feel empowered to make sensible decisions regarding library organization and cataloging of books, based on my patrons. After reflection, however, I am not jumping into any major reorganization. One must not only consider ease of access for students, but also ease of reshelving for parent volunteers! Kids would love to go to a genre section in fiction, however, unless there was a genre sticker on every book, the parents would not love trying to put them back.
I will feel no guilt however, leaving the Garfield books in fiction, and not in the nonfiction comics section.

Oh parent volunteers! I wish I had some, but I do understand that the training is key.
