Re: Cataloging

        I tried to send e-mail directly to Cathie Santangelo about where to
catalog Ancient Egypt, but it wouldn't go for some reason. In any case,
since someone else asked: the location has switched in the past few years.
Only items strictly on geography and travel should be in 913. Everything
else should be in 932. I presume this book is historical (932), and not
about Cleopatra's travelogue around the ancient world (913.) Anyway that is
why there are items in both places, and from now on anything that has to do
with historical emphisis and current events should go in the upper number.

        I didn't bother to go back and recatalog all the old stuff. If you
have sufficient access points in the catalog, there really isn't any need.
You could spend the rest of your days recataloging if you wanted to bring
everything up to DDC 20 standards (even worse, I hear DDC 21 is in the
making!)  Have fun!
