[CASL-L] book locations in library

[Laureen Anthony]

Hello! We separated our biographies as follows:
Science (includes inventors and explorers)
Politics and history
Famous writers
Celebrities and performers/artists
Athletes
Memoir.

We kept the graphic novel biographies with graphic novels. (We did divide GN into fiction and nonfiction.)

We based it on what topics the students often ask for.

Subject: [CASL-L] book locations in library

Hello-
I'm in the process of weeding my biography section. I'm trying to decide how I want to set things up so students are most likely to use them.

Right now, I have nonfiction graphic novels near the fiction graphic novels. As I'm going through biographies, I'm finding some biographies that are graphic novels. I was thinking about keeping the biography graphic novels in the biography section but in their own space in that section....maybe. What are your thoughts on this?

Another question, do people separate memoirs from biographies?

Thank you for your help, once again.
