[Genealib] New library question ** Arrangement

[Trevia Wooster Beverly]

You'll get a lot of answers, I'm sure.  At Clayton Library Center for Genealogical Research (part of our Houston Public Library system but housed separately in multiple buildings on two city blocks) we use the Dewey system and the books are arranged by USA, states (and within those states by county), foreign, family histories.  Bound periodicals are alpha order at the end of each section. Very user-friendly --

Our staff is wonderful and should you want details I am sure our library director, Susan Kaufman, would answer. If you can't visit us in person, give a looki-see at

  Subject: [Genealib] New library question


  Hi there,

  I am with the Montana Genealogy Library.  We are all volunteers and are cataloguing over 7000 books.  I need some suggestions on how to organize our library.  I just found your website and wish I'd had the advise 6 months ago.  We are using the dewey system and am organizing the books by state.  Any advise to help us thru our struggles would be appreciated.  I am not a librarian, just a volunteer.  We have many wonderful old books that our state historical society gave to us.  We are part of the Montana Shared Catalogue, but are not live yet.

  Bye,
  Karen Huck
