LM_NET: Library Media Networking
It is my understanding that individuals who obtain noteriaty through a
certain field will have their biographies or outobiographies placed in
that field. For example a biography on Kirby Pucket can be in 796.367
for baseball (i think i have that right) or in 921 for biography. It is
up to the individual librarian where he or she wants the biographies kept.
