Hi Matt,

We are grades 5/6.  We do use Classic labels, but will genrify based on what we think will circulate the most.  Why not use the other labels first on the spine (Romance, SciFi), then place the classic label underneath it?  In Destiny, you can tag it under the other genre so that you know where to find it if a patron is looking for it.  Just a thought.  I am not sure high school students flock to Classics often.

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.

 

Matt
