[Genealib] Genealogy Room Set-up

[Gwendolyn Mayer]

we do all Dewey for genealogy..but pull out county histories (filed alphabetically for patron ease), militray history because we did so historically, a special collection becasue it is all about a native son, and new books. works well here.

Subject: [Genealib] Genealogy Room Set-up 

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
