What an interesting assignment! It must be fun to see how all the answers match up. It’ll show that the experts maybe don’t always get it quite right! I thought the Beloit list was a little odd — amusing, but with some strange things on it.

What an interesting party game, to give a selection of books to librarians, journalists, publishers and academics and see what classifications they came up with. Might it loosen up the stranglehold of the category on book marketing? Well, maybe not, but one can hope.

Danielle, tags are an interesting idea. Do the patrons get to add them or is it only library staff? Constructing call numbers actually sounds like fun. Thanks for the good wishes!

Daphne, I miss Pee Wee too. And yeah, the list made me feel old.

Bonnie, those are excellent subject headings!

wil, no idea how real catalogers do it. I think the cataloging staff make individual choices based on library policy and experience. Eventually I will have to take a class on cataloging, I’ll be sure to share what I find out.

Arti, I know. I wish they went back to when I started college but that’s probably asking to much

Lisa, that’s right! so, does the list present a fairly accurate picture of your son’s age group?

Sylvia, OMG I laughed long and loud at your comment and am still chuckling

I think I’d like to call them Generation Balsamic.

That’s a great list. I’m sitting here trying to think of some other things to add to it. Very timely because I just moved my youngest into dorm sweet dorm over the weekend.
