Re: [LM_NET] Shakespeare 822.33

[Thomas Kaun <tomkaun@GMAIL.COM>]

Hi, David.
If you take a look at the Dewey schedules you will see (at least in the
unabridged ed.) that they use codes to subdivide the items by title and them
by text and criticism (plus a lot of other categories such as Shakespeare
biography, collections, general criticism, etc.). I don't have the manual
here in front of me but it uses a coded system like U6 for Macbeth texts and
U7 for criticism. I add a cutter (first 3 letters of last name) for the
editor of the the text because there are so many variations. For the
criticism I use the first three letters of the author's name (I don't use
traditional Cutter numbers at all in my library). This helps immensely when
trying to keep books in order on the shelf although shelvers still find ways
to mess things up occasionally!
Hope this helps.
Tom Kaun.
