Re: [ARSCLIST] Preservation media WAS: Cataloguing still :-)
Our local library charges fity cents to hold a book even if ordered by
the web. My favorite use is to walk in and browse the new books area,
and when I find an author I like I wander down the alphabetical shelves
to find more. I don't even know if they use the dewey system - it is by
kind of book and author last name. Is that the decimal system or not?
They have tags on them but I don't read them.
User friendly, in any case. But I'm not doing research.
