[CASL-L] Genre label

[LaPlante, Casey]

This is exactly why I don't use "classic" as a genre. It's not a genre of literature, and it's way too subjective as to what is considered a classic.

For folks who have or are or will be genre-fying their collection:

Does anyone use a "classic" label?

Would Sherlock Holmes get more circulation if it was labeled Classic or Mystery?

Should Jane Austen be under Romance or Classic?

War of the Worlds in Classic or Sci-fi?

Any input would be appreciated.
