It is super simple though so there wasn't much to say, just go to the Graphics section and if it's of Japanese origin it will be by title in its own section, the non fiction will be by 18 digit dewey decimal numbers in it's section, non series fiction graphics will be by author's last name (but watch out, what constitutes a series is highly interpretable, and it's usually the first author's last name, but sometimes it's by the more famous authors last name!), then the series are together in their section by title, but if there is a famous character all of those go together, e.g. Batman is all grouped even if the actual full titles of the series vary widely and don't start with "Batman". If there are sequential numbers on the spines that's a good sign it's a series, but you have to find them first and anyway sometimes there are series without numbers on the spines. Of course the teen Graphics are in the teen room under their own array of rules because, of course, a teen spider man comic and an adult one are fantastically different. There are also graphics in the kid's room where the question of what is or isn't a graphic can be more dicey. This is more of an outline for technical purposes. In practice if you're looking for a particular graphic it's so simple you just pretty much put your hand out and it will land on the book you are looking for.Feldenstein Calypsohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04896259011478481374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1982462977744808678.post-577015983265407872014-09-07T02:57:15.312-07:002014-09-07T02:57:15.312-07:00Sorry, I missed the succinct info about graphics, ...Sorry, I missed the succinct info about graphics, which is as it should be.
