Mitford

How are other librarians entering the series names in the Mitford books by Jan Karon?  With the new one on it's way, I started looking on all the inconsistent ways I had entered the series.  Some Mitford, some with the number of the book in the series.  I studied CBD to see how they name the series.  It is all so confusing!

  • Hi Joanna

    Our Library has the Mitford books by Jan Karon.  I classified them as A ADF.FIC KAR my 1   (see below)

    This keeps all of the books in the series together on the shelves. This also allows the patrons to browse the shelves and simply look for the next book in the series, without necessarily trying to remember the name of the title. 

    I have used the same method for other authors where there are several in a series. 

    Jill Eileen Smith for Daughters of the Promised Land    A ADF FIC SMI dpl 1 etc ... 

    I need to use FIC as an empty filler in the catalogue software program I have to keep the call numbers aligned. 

    A=  Adult

    ADF = category Adult Fiction

    FIC = FIC 

    KAR = Author - KAR 

    my 1 = mitford year 1

    my 2 = mitford year 2 

    my 3 = mitford year 3 etc. 

    I hope this is helpful to you
