The Early Chapter Series were problematic because they had different reading levels in the same section and on the same bookshelf. Some individual paperback titles had the same issue. I left the chapter series books for ages 6-9 ( grades 1-2) in place on the existing bookcase (examples: Junie B. Jones and Magic TreeHouse series), but I moved the Juvenile Chapter Series over to the appropriate section. These titles (Ramona Quimby for example) will need new spine labels with the correct call numbers (JF:...)
The second issue I encountered was that a significant number of uncataloged books have been shelved in with the cataloged collection. Apparently additional titles of the same series (Junie B. Jones, Magic TreeHouse, etc.) have been acquired over time. I have pulled out the uncataloged titles and set them aside for cataloging as soon as the spine label and barcode labels are available.
Tomorrow I plan to start work on the Juvenile Fiction section with the aid of the Follett Destiny system to sort out the books and ensure they are shelved in the section appropriate to their reading level. This will easily take the rest of the week, as this section has a significant number of titles in it.
