[Michlib-l] Shelving Adult Fiction by genre, or not

Good Morning, For a long time we have grouped our Adult Fiction books into several major genre areas: General Fiction, Mystery, Romance, Science Fiction and Westerns. As genres become blurrier and authors move between genres more freely, we are considering combining these genre areas into one large Fiction Area. However, we also believe that many patrons appreciate being able to browse their preferred genre, so enjoy the area as it is configured now. If you have either consolidated fiction or separated it into genres, how did it go for you? In particular, how did your patrons respond?
