GEN: LC v Dewey

["Margaret M. Myers-Culver"]

Dear Group:
At our district library meeting last week one of the members asked
why at the secondary level more schools don't use the Library of Congress
classification system rather than the Dewey Decimal system because the LC
system is what most colleges use.  I explained my reasons for the choice
but are there any more definitive answers out there?  Has there been an
official statement by the library community?
Send your answers to me directly please.  I will try to post a hit if the
desire is there and if I can figure out how to post a hit using Netscape
mail.
TIA
Margie
