NoMeLx22x 05/10/24 11:06:45 AM #52:	RetuenOfDevsman posted... Sounds dumb. I'd rather just follow the signs than have to look stuff up in a book. What if someone else is using the book? What if there's a line, even? Why would you want signs that are hard to read? You know these are all on computers now right? Like it's all digitalized now. At least it's this way in all libraries I've been to. You just go one of the computers, type the name of the book (or category) and when you find it, copy the number down and go find it. It's suoer easy and I couldn't imagine an easier way that doesn't involve a shit load of money and re-labeling and reclassifying thousands of books per library --- Sigs are for losers. <cite>NoMeLx22x posted [p:980330587] in Dewey Deci...

bruplex 05/10/24 11:17:58 AM #55:	Golden_Key33 posted... I'm a librarian, and even a lot of us are saying it's an antiquated system. Lots of potential alternatives, but there are older librarians and even members of the public who cling to it. The weird thing about the Dewey Decimal System is that it is privately owned, meaning your library has to pay a license to use it, right? I learned this many years ago when the company that owns it acquired the place I was working for at the time. Basically, they get yearly fees from every library that uses it. --- Use your computer mouse to navigate the internets. Be sure to talk to everyone you meet.

tankboy 05/10/24 11:19:13 AM #56:	Dewey devised a taxonomy AND a hashing function, that turned bookshelves into dynamic data structures. That happened when Grant was president. It may be obsolete now, but it was pretty innovative at the time. <cite>tankboy posted [p:980330767] in Dewey Deci...
