[Conan the Librarian]

I was a student worker then a MLS Librarian for almost 40 years. The Dewey System is as close to the Perfect classification system for books that there is.

Anything else would just be madness.

I worked in public and academic libraries for half of my adult life. I started out with Dewey, and then moved to LC.

I didn’t see that one was really much better than the other. If one has any advantage, LC is a little easier to memorize.

It’s better than Library of Congress?
XY234786 - Nonexistent President’s Book of Secrets

I can work with either one.

Maybe they should do ISBN’s (just kidding).

1) The Dewey decimal system is already limited only to community libraries; university libraries use an entirely unrelated system

2) All biographies in a single number? All of mammalian biology in a single number?

3) Literature split up according to language and genre, with English divided into American and British?

I was a student worker then a MLS Librarian for almost 40 years. The Dewey System is as close to the Perfect classification system for books that there is.

When I got to University and discovered the precision of the LoC system, I thought (and still do) that it was a disservice to youths to use DD in schools.

Babas is an ass, however, for playing the race card rather than arguing for the superiority of LoC.
