Barbara,

     We have a Genealogy Department in our Public Library.  Our periodicals 
are intershelved with the books, following the Dewey Decimal System.  This 
ensures that they will be grouped with books about the same geographic area, 
thus facilitating browsing.  Our closed stacks are for rare and fragile 
volumes only; we do not keep periodicals there.  We had the opportunity to 
change our setup when we moved into our new library in May but have been 
happy with this system.  Our periodicals are cataloged, as well as being 
indexed in the PERSI available on our HeritageQuest subscription.  Most of 
our periodicals are bound if we have a complete volume; otherwise the loose 
issues are in Princeton file boxes on the shelves.

I hope this is of some help to you.

Carol Anderson
Adult Services Librarian
