[CASL-L] Biography/Memoir categories

[Melissa Thom]

Hello,

I have had the same thought and this past fall I created a spine label for
"Artists" and "Writers/Authors."

I haven't thought through the other categories but I agree that it would
make it easier for students to find something they were interested in if I
categorized them.
