I haven’t done so yet, but I plan to create laminated lists of the titles of the different series and attach them to the shelves or put them in small picture frames.  My daughter’s elementary school does something similar by listing the titles of the series in order and placing the lists on the end caps nearest the books.  I shelve my ficion alphabetically.  I have separate sections for short stories and for graphic novels.

Okay, I've got another series question.  (I'm in a high school.)  How many of us shelve series fiction alphabetically by title?  Or according to the "number" of the series, regardless of place in the alphabet?  (I often wish authors would think about this when they write trilogies:  Please start the first title in the series with an "A," the middle one with an "L" word, and the last with a "W"!!!!  : )    )

I feel a bit awkward asking this, but…

I’m looking for any kind of info related to cataloguing and shelving series fiction.  Anyone follow their own rules to make it easier for your students to identify them, search them, and/or find them on your shelves.
