We classify our serials.  Loose issues sit next to bound issues in the
appropriate place on the shelf.  Microforms are also classified.  These
are
kept in a separate microform room and filed in the cabinets in call
number
order.  The holdings statement on the bib record indicates which are
bound
and which are in microform. Also, the individual holding record also
gives
the location in addition to the call number.

| We are a small library considering classifying our bound journals

those

You could continue to file them alphabetically.  This is what we did in
a
community college library (we only had a small collection of
film./fiche).
At a much larger university library, the fiche were given a local
generic
microform call number and filed by header title with cross-reference
cards
filed from the catalog entry if different.  Titles on microfilm were
assigned accession numbers preceded by a letter indicating if the title
was
a periodical, newspaper, manuscript collection, thesis, etc. (e.g,
Microfilm A1 would be for a manuscript collection, Microfilm C1 for a
thesis).
