I'm just doing some catching up on posts after being absent during break. If this was a future school library graduate, I do not think he's happy in class or does not realize in the field that a system must be used to place materials in some order to make location of the materials easier. Like someone else mentioned, I've also never heard of a school library or been in a public library that utilizes anything other than the DDS. Perhaps this is some idea that has cropped up more due to reading programs like Reading Counts or Accelerated Reader where RC or AR books are kept together by reading level and segregated from the non-RC/AR books...something I vehemently will not do. I feel students should be able to leave my library and go to another (school) library and be able to quickly locate various items. Instead we indicate RC books by placing a bright yellow spine label protector over the call number, stamp inside the book with a custom-made stamp and write in the RL (Reading Level) and the Points. All books are then filed with the "normal" set-up of Easy, Fiction and Non-Fiction. As Judy mentioned, I sometimes wonder why some topics are filed in certain spots...but I would hate to have to recatalog items if they changed their call numbers! Hopefully that'll wait until I retire! Ha... Such are my thoughts...
