[LM_NET] fiction by subject

["Cowell, Michelle" <cowellm@WAVERLY-SHELLROCK.K12.IA.US>]

After the responses I got on this subject I had to post to the whole list.  
Hopefully, it won't fire up a controversy.  It was very interesting that the 
negative responses  I received were by people who haven't tried this.  All of the 
people who have tried this and responded to me sounded very happy with the result 
and often with the increased circulation.  I starting thinking about this after an 
article in School Library Journal, then I started to think about how my junior high 
students look for free reading books,  very few go to the catalog and browse there. 
 They wander up and down the shelves looking for something interesting but with 
some vague idea  in mind.

I decided that I am going to give this a try but I don't quite have the particulars 
nailed down yet.

thanks for the input
