Manga Terminology for Tagging

Tags for Manga

Use the tag manga

To find the other tag for a type of manga, look up the title on Wikipedia and check the “Demographic” in the information sidebar at the right. Look for one of the following:

shonen
seinen
shojo
josei
kodomo


Shonen manga (show-nen)
• Geared for teen and young adult males
• Usually action-packed and humorous

Seinen (say-nen)
• Men’s Manga
• Will often have more adult themes, with some containing graphic violence and sexually explicit material

Shôjo (show-joe)
• Girl’s Manga
• Often more lighthearted and involves romance

Josei (joe-say) (or redikomi)
• Women’s Manga
• Often about womens' lives; may be more realistic than Shôjo

Kodomo (kow-dow-mow)
• Children’s Manga

To Add a New Book to the Shelfari Shelf

· Scan the book’s barcode (usually on the back cover)

o Shelfari will show you an image of the book.

o Sometimes several possible covers are shown, representing different editions of the same book. The one to the far left is usually the matching edition.

· Click on the little blue “ADD” button beneath the cover.

o You’ll see a pop-up box that says “Have you read this?” Ignore that part.

· Click on the “My Tags” tab along the bottom edge of the pop-up box.

· Enter the tag:

o odum library call# [call number]

o You can copy and paste the call number from the online catalog, including the prefix POPULAR.

o NOTE: Shelfari will not use capital letters in tags, the whole tag will be in lower case, so capitalizing is futile.

· Click on “Save & Next”

· Click on “Done”
