FYI--Cataloging clarification
Hi, all--
Someone left a CD-ROM on my desk that was 9/11 resources to be evaluated for the BookCD collection. Unfortunately it wasn't initialed, so I will address the group. First off--thank you for bringing this to my attention!! I'm glad everyone is helping me with making things easy to find!!
Its shelf location and collection is non-fiction and is located with the 9/11 books. I have left it in nonfiction because it is not an audiobook. It is to be used on a computer only and primarily text and photos. Anything labeled BookCD and in the audiobook collection is an audio only. I fear that if we moved it into the BookCD collection, a patron would expect an audiobook, which it is not.
We have a few other CD-ROMs scattered throughout non-fiction as well. They are mostly text, photos or interactive. Their call number is CD ....
Thanks!
RB
