[Genealib] Genealogy Room Set-up

[Livingston, Christopher]

Hello,

I am new to Genealogy Librarianship. Our Genealogy Room is currently set up by region and then by Dewey. I am wondering whether this is a common practice for Genealogy Rooms/Libraries. Can anyone give me examples of set-ups that are different? Would it be wrong to put the room strictly in Dewey order? You can respond directly if you would like to christopher.livingston at kerncountylibrary.org<mailto:christopher.livingston at kerncountylibrary.org>

Thank you,

Chris
