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.

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!
