[Publib] Audiobook Cohabitation

Hello all,

Within your AV collection, do any of you interfile all formats of
audiobooks (for example, your CD copy of Angels & Demons is next to your
cassette copy, which is next to the MP3-CD copy, which is next to the
Playaway)?  If so, would you mind sharing how this works for you?  We
currently have each format shelved separately, so if someone's looking
for Angels & Demons--and doesn't care what format it's in--they have to
look in four different places (or they *could* look in the catalog to
see which ones--if any--are in).  

I'd tend to think that format matters, and patrons would get confused
having all the formats together (and get home with a format they can't
use) but I'd like to know if I'm wrong.  

Thanks in advance!
