Sure, maybe according to the rules it should be in the 920s or biography. But we've got tons of sports figures that technically should go in biography - but we put them in the 790s b/c that's where kids look for them. It's all about circulation - or it should be.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05096787155616041727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6611875170009784219.post-44955622069793372172009-10-23T22:18:14.640-04:002009-10-23T22:18:14.640-04:00My specific library put it in the 741s - in our co...My specific library put it in the 741s - in our consortium, we're in the minority, most put it in the 920s. We don't put collective biographies in our biography section and srsly you don't want to be stuck there anyways - it's way at the back and kids only go there when they have an assignment. The 900s are pretty remote too, and it's a small section so you'd be stuck in with a bunch of outdated history stuff. Whereas, lots of kids go to the 741s b/c all the drawing and craft books are there (you are practically next to the You Can Draw Star Wars - prime real estate!). So I think it will do fine there. I think it depends on the library - where the librarian thinks it will circ best. Also, it's got an attractive cover so it's something I'd pull out frequently to go on the nonfiction display shelves.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05096787155616041727noreply@blogger.com
