Dewey or Don’t We?

JUN

05


The Dewey-loyal oppose genrefication for the same reason others support it: self-sufficiency. So “Dewey” or don’t we? Join Shannon McClintock Miller and two other noted school librarians for this lively panel discussion around the benefits of both Dewey and genrefication, and how to transition from one to the other. Our experts will discuss how to make sure your collection is diverse throughout genres (within fantasy, biographies, mysteries, etc.) and the tools that make it simple. You will leave this webinar with the knowledge and inspiration you need to transform your library collection.

Attendees will learn ideas for:
• The pros and cons of Dewey Decimal System and genrefication
• Tips for transitioning from one way to classify to the other
• How Follett’s genrefication services, cataloging and processing, and True Dewey cartons can help

Panelists:
• Amanda Chacon – School Library Journal 2024 Librarian of the Year, H.M. Carroll Elementary School, Houston, Texas
• Shannon McClintock Miller – District Teacher Librarian, Van Meter Community School, Van Meter, Iowa
• Lauren Mobley – School Library Media Specialist, North Clayton Middle School, College Park, Georgia

Scheduling conflict? We’ve got you covered! Register and we’ll send you the recording shortly after the webinar ends.
