[CASL-L] Genrefication question

[Hsiang, Sara]

I am not genrefying my collection since I don't have the staff for that
kind of project and can't make those tough decisions BUT I have been using
genre labels for a long time. Follett now will include labels that Demco
carries for free!
You can set it up in Follett (Mary Haggerty helped me) with the labels you
want. When you order, Follett suggests/defaults to a label but you can
select a different one.

PS Here are mine (too lazy to type out)
