Well it partially depends on the size & purpose of your library. I (in our
synagogue library) co-locate all fiction and use lots of spine labels.
(including "graphic novel"). If you stick it in a reading ghetto, browsing
patrons are less likely to notice other interesting, non-graphic fiction.
Of course, I'm also about to complain to our public library who just moved to a
new building and, for the 1st time, is using Dewey 800s as well as alpha
fiction. Why is Dickens under "D" and Mark Twain in "literature"? IMHO, very
confusing to patrons.

Subject: [ha-Safran] How to catalog??
Greetings and Shana Tova to all!
I have a query: at the request of one of my most enthusiastic library patrons,
I purchased WATCHMEN, the Hugo Award-winning Graphic Novel – considered, in
fact, a landmark novel of the century, even among non-Graphic Literature. I
WILL read it, but I want to get it onto the shelf ASAP, and I’m at a loss as
how to assign a call number. I use Weine and could surely shelve it as
Fiction, but I would appreciate any input from others who have walked this
particular path before me. Many thanks.
