I left the 741.5 on all of mine, but added a GN prefix to it.  I also sorted them be series name instead of author/illustrator (and the call #s reflect that).  I figured it was the best way to keep all of the Superman and superhero ones together--especially since each one can have a different author/illustrator.

Hope that helps!

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!
