[Publib] Dewey Decimal Classification

[Paula Laurita]

We're still using DDC.

 

On a side note-Last month I visited the new library of Alexandria, Egypt.
They use DDC.  The NATO Defense College in Rome, Italy also uses DDC.

We have found that a library is not an end in itself, but a means to many
ends.

Hello Folks - As you know Florida has had its share of great elected
officials who think they know more than the library people about the running
of libraries. Now we have one who says many libraries are doing away with
the DDC and she thinks it is a waste of money for us to continue using that
system. Question - how many of you have done away with the DDC and what are
you doing instead?  Thanks-Bernadette Storck
