[Genealib] RE: Why do you rearrange your collection?

[MPL Genealogy Department]

Our library has a blind genealogy volunteer suggested organizing by shape -
until she remembered she was in a public collection. I now know what it
looks like for a volunteer to blush so hard her dog turns red :o)

Seriously though, how do you all handle your new books? We are doing the
same thing the main library does and setting them into a new area for the
first month they are back from processing. Note our department isn't open
without genealogy staff or volunteers on hand.

Actually, shouldn't you just file them in order from the earliest published
to the latest published?...
