[LM_NET] Call numbers for adapted 'Classics'

[Lizanell Boman <lboman@NORTH-STARACADEMY.COM>]

I have checked the archives, but have apparently not hit on the right  
search term if this has been discussed before.  I found quite  
insightful discussions on whether or not to have adapted or abridged  
classics in the library but I am not finding any answers on this  
other issue.

If you place your classics and adapted classics in your fiction or  
juvenile fiction section, do you use the original author or the  
adaptor's name as the spine label?    Kids using the online catalogue  
to find a book will obviously have fewer problems with them no matter  
how you label them, but I'm thinking of the casual browser who thinks  
"I know the author's name, I'll just go to the shelf" and then  
doesn't see those adaptations because they are shelved by the  
adaptor's last name.

Do any of you have a separate section for adapted classics or does  
everyone just put classics in the 800's of your Dewey stuff?

TIA for your help and wisdom!
