[CASL-L] Genrefication question

[Cyndi Hansard]

Good morning, all.

I am getting ready to genrefy my school library, and I have questions. My
school serves grades 7-12, and we have approximately 3700 fiction
titles/graphic novels.

My first question is -- approximately how long will it take to label and
move that many books? For the most part, they do not already have
genre labels. My assistant is hoping to pick up some summer hours to work
on this project, but we need to provide an idea of how many hours it might
take. I'm thinking about 5,467,892. Maybe one of you can give me a more
hopeful number?

Also, for grades 7-12, what categories do you use? Do any of you simply
color code the spines rather than use specific labels? For example, I'm
thinking it would be nice to put mystery, thriller, and horror all
together, so maybe they could all just have a green sticker with a green
sign that clearly labels the section. Thoughts?

Thank you all in advance for your help!
