    7. 741.5 vs. subject in 001-999 Use 741.5 and its subdivisions for works of the imagination in comic book, graphic novel, fotonovela, cartoon, caricature, or comic strip forms that are primarily intended to delight Use 001–999 . . . for works in these forms that are primarily intended to inform or persuade

    9. Why the 700s for fictional graphic novels? Why are fictional graphic novels classed in the 700s instead of the 800s? General DDC rule: When fictional narrative is presented primarily visually, or when graphics and text are equally important, prefer 700 over 800

    10. Why the 700s? (continued) First of two rule: The rule instructing that works dealing equally with two subjects that are not used to introduce or explain one another are classed in the number coming first in the schedules or tables 700 The arts Fine and decorative arts . . . for literature, see 800

    11. Why the 700s? (continued) The same preference for 700 holds for a combination of acting and literature music and literature cinematography and literature dancing and literature

    12. 700s & 800s: examples Shakespeare, Othello 822.33 Stage production 792.92 Verdi, Otello 782.1 Stage production 792.542 Orson Welles’s film, The Tragedy of Othello, the Moor of Venice (adaptation of Shakespeare’s Othello) 791.4372

    17. Comic book & comic strip characters Avoid separating works about the same characters between 741.569 and 741.59; use the number for the form in which the characters most commonly appear, regardless of whether the content of the work in hand was originally issued as comic strips or comic books

    20. Geographic notation for individual works (continued) If in doubt, try to determine what area’s cultural tradition the work primarily reflects or was originally aimed at, and use the notation for that area If still in doubt, prefer notation for the area that comes later in Table 2 Do not add anything beyond notation for country
