Cataloging for new Harry Potter "book"
Seeking advice from the collective... We just received the new Harry Potter "book." I put it in quotes because it is a script, not a story in the more traditional sense. My inclination is to put it in the ADULT FICTION collection, although since it is a script, it could also go into non-fiction (822). There are only a couple of other libraries in MeL who have it, and they're split about 50/50. I appreciate any thoughts / suggestions. Thanks in advance.

All of the libraries in our cooperative have gone with Teen Fiction or Fiction Rowling. There are many variables up for debate on that one, including authorship. We erred on the side of where we thought patrons were most likely to look for and find it.

Ditto with Albion. Having it in with the plays in non-fiction and under Thorne would be a recipe for it to vanish from the patron eye.

Ditto with Tecumseh! All of our Harry Potter books are in the J Fiction section, and after considering the cataloging options for the newest title, I simply added it to the existing Harry Potter series collection, basically for the convenience of all. As Cindy noted, to do otherwise would be confusing to the patron. Our six copies are experiencing a healthy circulation with patrons of all ages!

We have 8 copies in Youth Fiction, 3 in YA Fiction, and 6 in our Hot Picks collection (Hot Picks = no holds allowed, shorter borrowing period). All under Rowling, or "Series Harry" since that is where people will be looking.
