CATALOGING ADAPTED WORKS

[msirwin <msirwin@OPTONLINE.NET>]

I'm looking for suggestions about cataloging abridged or adapted works of 
fiction--generally classics. Our downloaded records show the adapter as author, 
giving a 700 field entry for the original author. That is OK, but I really prefer 
to shelve them alongisde the originals, so although an author may be Shmoe, the 
spine label says FIC DIC. The only problem I see with that (being in the midst of 
inventory) is that the computer freaks if Joe Shmoe is right alonside Charles 
Dickens. Of course, I can ignore the hissy from the computer, but it made me wonder 
what other folks do.
