Dear LM_NETters, I am interested in knowing if anyone out there uses 813 for the call number instead of FIC for fiction books. As I order more fiction these days, I notice that some vendors are using 813 with some novels, but not with others. Anybody know why? Is this a trend? Is it just different catalogers' preferences? I know that Dewey used 813 to designate fiction, but it has been the practice, as far as I know, to use the FIC consistently in most libraries that I have used (not including those that use the LC system, of course). Has anyone rearranged the collection using 813? There is some discussion of this in archives, but I wondered if there's something afoot here that I am unaware of in cataloging land. Just wondering.
