[Publib] cataloguueing music cds

[Bonnie Mendes]

We do it very similar to Megan's library; however our genres are much more 
generic. Beethoven's 9th would be in Classical.  We have Rock, R&B, Holiday, 
World Music, Country, Jazz, Classical, etc.  There are always a few 
compilations that straddle the line, but all and all it works.

Hi Megan,

How do you determine what goes in which of these sections?  For instance, if 
I wanted to go straight to the shelves and see if Beethoven's 9th was in, 
where would I go?  Of course, I'd hope people would check the catalog, but I 
think most, including myself, would attempt browsing first, and many never 
use the catalog or ask for help.  I wonder if such divisions hinder access 
at some point.
