I came across an article in the ALSC blog on how one library has reorganized the shelving of Children's non-fiction book. Their idea is to select a small number of subjects and file books within those headings in Dewey order.

My thoughts: Seems like a good idea, but I feel that Church libraries probably don't have large collections of children's non-fiction. A change would not be worth the effort.
In my wanderings in the web I came across a blog by photographer Steve McCurry that I found to be an interesting combination of great photographs with quotations that relate to readers.
There seems to be more and more books on our shelves by popular prolific authors that produce serials. The latest suggestion by our leaders is to add an extra line to the call number to identify the serial name and number. I've followed this suggestion (mostly.)I've been wondering if it would be helpful to add call number title identification for non-serial books . This would help in shelving to put books for an author in order by title, with serials in order within the title alphabet.Any comments on this?
I looked at YouTube for the first time today. I didn't realize that they had a search feature. For example go to https://www.youtube.com/ and in the search field enter "books book binding book repair" (without quotes).
