Subject: [CLClist] Integrating Reference Collection with
Non-Fiction??Thoughts...

Hi,

 

Are there any public libraries in Connecticut that have shelved their
Reference

Collection among it's Non-Fiction Collection??

 

If your library has done this, do you like it??

 

How do your patrons like it???

 

I know that one downside is that a patron may take over a intershelved
reference

book over to the circulation desk to check it out and then learn that it
must stay

in the library.  Result being a unhappy patron.

 

We are in the thinking stages of this at the Whittemore Library and want

to hear the pros and cons.

 

Can anyone lead us to any recently published article(s) on this
subject???

 

Thanks..

 

John W.
