Dear Colleagues,

                How can I change the cataloging of my graphic novels so that first, students can search for graphic novels and come up with the whole list of them regardless of Dewey number.  Second, how can I catalog them so that during inventory they don’t come up on the shelf list.   I have a new graphic novel collection this year and I’ve decided to house it separately.  I have, however, retained the Dewey numbers on the non-fiction graphic novels and changed the fictional ones to fiction instead of 741.5 for comic books.  I have GRAPHIC NOVEL stickers on the spines so they will get re-shelved properly.

 

Thanks for your help!
