[Publib] cataloging music CDs

[Anne U. Frontino]

     At our library we have always arranged our music CDs by genre, then
alphabetically by main entry within the genre.  Our genre headings
include Classic, Folk, Jazz, Pop, World, Opera, R&B, Show, and
Christmas.  We have over 3000 CDs and this works very well for us.  I
should note that in the Classic section we further subdivide by type of
composition.  As an example, a CD of Mozart concertos would have the
call number as follows:  Compact Disc Classic MOZ CON.  We had so many
classic CDs (it is by far our largest section) that it had become
difficult to find a specific title.
I hope this helps (and, if you are facing a major re-cataloging effort,
may the Force be with you!)
