[CASL-L] Genre label

[Tietjen, Katie]

I definitely approached genre-fying as more of an art than a science. Many books could go under multiple genres. In many cases, I just went with my gut (or asked my student library interns for their input when I was really stuck).

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.
