| contents | A Genre Conversation Begins Jameson, Juanita School Libraries Classification Library Development Library Services Organizational Change Change Strategies Performance Factors Human Factors Engineering Search Strategies Usability Systems Analysis Systems Development User Needs (Information) Elementary Secondary Education Research Needs Keeping a uniform, basic arrangement of the school library is essential if students are to be comfortable finding resources in other libraries. Two questions that must be answered if a new system were to be devised are: Who would decide on the particulars of that system? What criteria would be used to make the decision to ensure that use of the system would be universal and not regional? A major problem would arise if each school library implemented a different system or a portion of a system. Other questions that must be answered include: Should the entire Dewey Decimal Classification system be ditched in school libraries? Or would a new system be a revamping that included rearrangement of the nonfiction and fiction into genres? In this article Horace J. Good Middle School (Garden City, Kansas) librarian explains why she does not see a need to do a universal change from the Dewey Decimal Classification system. |
