We've also featured a sign
showing how to find more
comics in the catalog using
the searching for a tag
feature. Matthew went in and
tagged as many
comics/graphic novels he
could find with the word
"comics" so they come up in
such a search. (If anyone has
graphic novels in their
collection, please use the
"comics" tag so we can
expand this feature!)

successes.

12. WPK is in the process of reorganizing their DVDs by genre! Amanda has
created labels that will be placed on the DVDs. Each movie will be tagged in
the catalog by a genre. Once the tagging & labeling is finished all of our
entertainment dvds will be organized on the shelf by genre.
We are hoping this new set up
will lend itself to easier
browsing for our patrons & also
increase circulation on older
dvds.
Stay tuned for the unveiling of our
new entertainment dvd collection!
