  1. Visit Delaware's Library lovin' govenment - Library Journal Delaware's Library lovin' govenment - Library Journal

    http://www.libraryjournal.com/article/CA6476389.html

    Apparently the Secretary of State in Delaware is "a librarian wannabe who's even cataloged her own books using the Dewey Decimal System." I know how that is.

  2. Visit Creating the 21st Century Library -- In These Times Creating the 21st Century Library -- In These Times

    http://www.inthesetimes.com/article/3298/creating_the_21st_century_library/

    Great interview with Megan Prelinger or the Prelinger Library in San Francisco - an unincorporated privately run 1700 sq. ft. library. They don't use Dewey or LC, but their own personal classification.

  3. Visit Mr. Library Man wants you to speak up and ask questions Mr. Library Man wants you to speak up and ask questions

    http://www.modbee.com/opinion/community/story/54059.html

    Fun new column where a librarian gives flip answers to silly questions. I'm not sure he should have revealed that librarians have secret DDC numbers that we don't let others know about. What would Rupert Giles say?

  5. Visit Library Books | Harold's Software Library Books | Harold's Software

    http://haroldchu.id.au/?q=node/2

    Cool looking software for keeping track of the books you have out from your library in your toolbar.

  6. Visit BISAC Subject Headings BISAC Subject Headings

    http://www.bisg.org/standards/bisac_subject/major_subjects.html

    Bisac subject headings, listed out. It would be pretty simple to crosswalkk these with DDC.

  7. Visit ALA TechSource | Raising Arizona ALA TechSource | Raising Arizona

    http://www.techsource.ala.org/blog/2007/07/raising-arizona.html

    So that Library in Arizona was actually swiching from DDC to a established standard ("BISAC"). That's something that's been missed in all of the coverage. Great description of the project here.

  8. Visit Guide to the Collections: Cutter Collection Guide to the Collections: Cutter Collection

    http://www.bostonathenaeum.org/cutterguide.html

    The boston athenaeum's guide to cutter, an obscure alternative to DDC, by Melvil's contemporary and friend C.A. Cutter

    http://www.librarything.com/thingology/2006/12/cutter-classification-reloaded.php

    The proposal to use Cutter numbers as an open source alternative to the limited access given to LOC and DDC.

  10. Visit Forbes Library | Cutter Classification Forbes Library | Cutter Classification

    http://www.forbeslibrary.org/books/cutter.shtml

    A library that doesn't use LOC, DDC or 'Barnes & Noble. They use Cutter. Take a look at this description. It's like an alternate universe
