To add to Vicky's dilemma re. the 920's, I have another (different) one. I realize it isn't "proper" format in any category other than biographies to use the subject's last name as the call # letters (921 EIN for Einstein even though written by someone else) but what about using that "system" for authors in the 800's? Or artists in the 700's? I have multiple shelves of 813.52 or 813.54 for Lit Crit and think it would be much easier for students if all the Hemingways were 813.54 HEM. I know that the call # includes the correct letters to find but am looking for a way for students to find books more easily. And what about Lit Crit books about books by an author? (Same question re. the art books). Is this just crazy talk? Will I be burned at the stake as a heretic?? J’aimé L.
