I ask these question with fear and trepidation. Let me first say, I do
not remember a thing about cataloging, so please do not chastise me for
asking these questions or for not remembering cataloging. I received my
degree over 15 years ago, but did not move into the library until 2
years ago. I have simply forgotten! I do very well with every aspect of
my job--except cataloging questions.
Here is what happens: when I am not sure where to place a book, I check
other libraries on the Internet. I often find a variety of choices and
the problem is, I don't know how to settle the question for myself. To
complicate the matter, much of my collection is old. From what I read on
LM_NET, the Dewey tables have been changed over the years. If I put the
new book in a section whose Dewey numbers have been reworked, it would
be like putting "new wine into old wineskins." I would rather change the
whole group.
1) What Dewey books should I be using to catalog? Index version? Tables
version?
2) Where do I purchase them? (Online services are not an option. I need
hardcover books.)
3) I have a detailed question about Lewis and Clark books, and I would
like to correspond with someone to help me.
Please respond off the list and please be kind. Thank you. ")
