It actually depends. in rails when you are considering MVC architecture, all the Models and views are classes. while models often inherited from AR and controllers are from ActionController::Base

it depends of what actually your new class will gonna do.

1 - if it something regarding the business logic, like creating different kind of users according to logged in user (Admin, NormalUser) you might be keeping it inside models.

2 - If your new class have some common methods which will be used by models or controllers and used by those (like extending, or injecting new methods) you can store them in the lib folder.

so if you could post some more details, we might be able to helpyou more :D

cheers

lib folder is usually a good place, if that's not a model.
