We have renamed ours Adult Graphic Collection, YA Graphic Collection and Children’s Graphic Collection. They were initially named Graphic Novels but there are non-fiction as well as fiction items in the collections.
There is a separate spine label which says Graphic Collection on each item along with the regular spine label by Dewey number or Author’s last name. We have not interfiled the titles but have shelved each group separately in their particular department.

Subject: [Michlib-l] Labeling Graphic Novels
Can anyone suggest best practices for labeling and organizing graphic novels so that patrons can easily find what they want on the shelves? We plan to have two graphic novel collections, one for teens and another for younger audiences.
