Title
¬The classification and organization of adult fiction in larger American public libraries
Source
Public libraries. 24(1985), S.13-14
Year
1985
Abstract
Because classification of fiction has posed a dilemma for librarians for many years, the author conducted a survey of the classification practices of larger llibrary systems in the United States. The majority of libraries physically separate adult fiction from adult nonfiction. A large percentage of libraries use genre categorization to arrange a part of their fiction collection. The author concludes: "We now know what we are doing, but are we sure of the whys?"
