New Shelving Strategy
Brookhaven Library Media Center
Most popular nonfiction are placed in bins. They are still in Dewey order,
with the exception of the topics whose call number has changed. For
example, all deer books are together, even though some are 599.65 and
some are 599.73.
Chapter books by popular authors are shelved alpabetically within the Fiction section.
Large sections, such as the Ha's, are also shelved toghether.
Paperbacks by popular authors are sheved wiith hardcovers by the same author.
Popular series have their own bins.
These include Cam Jansen, Clifford,
Berenstain Bears, Biscuit, Junie B.,
Jane O'Connor and Magic Tree
House.
All of the Easy Reader books are
alphabetical by author in bins. My goal
is to have all the sections in bins
eventually. Having the easy readers in
bins has kept the section neater and
greatly reduced shelving time.
Goals
● Simplify shelving
● Improve neatness
● Improve ease of use for students
● Promote seldom-used books
Assessment
● Student feedback
● Teacher and administrator feedback
● Feedback from fellow LMSs.
