We recently reorganized our DVD collection. We now have them grouped by TV Series, Family, Adult, Non-Fiction and Juvenile. We put spine stickers on them to identify what part of the collection they belong to. Juvenile DVDs include mostly animated shows like
Dora, Elmo and Bob the Builder. Full length movies are in the Family section and are G and PG. All PG-13 and R movies are in the Adult section. We found that we had to make a judgment call on non-rated DVDs. Take a look at the "slider" on the main page of
our website for a photo of our new Family section.<br>

<b>Subject: </b>[Michlib-l] Reorganization of Children/Adult DVD Collections<br>
<br>
Dear Colleagues, <br>
<br>
We are reorganizing our DVD collections and wonder how you manage it. In the past, we collected award winning, R rated and family themed movies in the Adult Collection and cartoons and animation in the Children's Collection. We have recently broadened our Adult
Collection by adding more films with adult themes and are looking to remove the "family oriented movies" to the Children's Collection.<br>
<br>
Do you mainly look at the ratings and divide your collections into Adults: R and PG13, Teens PG and PG13 and Children: G and PG? Or do you put them all together with proper labeling to guide patrons? Also, do you call your DVD collections anything other than
Adult, Teen or Child/Youth? I appreciate your insight and advice. <br>
<br>
Sincerely, <br>
<br>
Jaema<br>
