GEN: Dewey Cataloging

[PJMEB14 <PJMEB14@AOL.COM>]

Hi,

Well, I am finally off and running.  I bought some books and had kits made up
for them from a card cataloging company.  It was kind of expensive.  I was
happy with them, but I have alot more books to do myself and need to keep
costs low.  I think I finally landed on a software that will help me print
cards and labels.

My problem:
I am sort of afraid of that Dewey Decimal system.  I am afraid I will
catalogue it under the wrong number.  I tried to print off the net, something
called "Cyber Dewey" which was a very long alphabetized list of subjects.  I
printed A through F or so, and then when I went back to do some more, I had to
start printing from the beginning of the A's.  (It wouldn't print just the
sections I wanted...and the blue ink it uses will run out in no time.)

Does anyone know of another list elsewhere or a reasonably inexpensive book on
Dewey, with common subject headings alphabetized?
We are a small library, and I don't plan on using digits beyond two places
after the decimal.

Thanks for your time.

I hope this is the proper format--I just added my screen name.
