No More Dewey - Part 2

I have finally finished weeding the everybody nonfiction section. I then did inventory on the section and marked the missing books lost. This allowed me two times to get my hands on the books. I carried a sheet with my categories on it and kept adding as I went through.  I am now ready to start dividing up the section. As I was working my way through this section I tried to figure out how to divide the section. I debated with the biography books as to whether to put them in the sections with their subject or make a people section and divide them by their subject in the people section. I really had to think about the way my students might use the books. I decided that I was going to create the people section and divide by subject. It will be interesting to see what other categories I will have to rethink. I am excited to get this process going. I don't work during the summer but I have an aide that keeps the library open during summer school so I am hoping to have the section into piles for her to redo spine labels.
