Dewey? At This Library With a Very Different Outlook, They Don’t
14th July 2007
Item. Most libraries that drop the Dewey system pick up the Library of Congress system. Curiously, they seem to have abandoned any classification scheme whatsoever. Don’t know how they go about reshelving books — or directing people to books from the computer catalog. The purpose of a catalog, after all, is not to put like things together but rather to promote finding stuff once you know what it is.
