[Publib] cataloguing music cds

[Sue Kamm]

What you're referring to is classification, which is a separate issue from cataloging.  

We have rough genres - popular, jazz, classical.  The covers are placed on browsing shelves, and the borrower brings the "dummy" to the AV desk for check-out.  Other than shelving by genre, we don't try to put things in any kind of order.  Our AV media are essentially browsingcollections.

The Placer County library in California is examining options in catalogueing and shelving music cds.  If your library has catalogued and shelved cds by genre, alphabetical order, or any combination of the two, please reply to this letting me know the system used and if it works well.
For example, does anyone do straight alphabet by artist or title of cd?  If cds are divided by genre, what are the classifications and how are they arranged within genre?
