DEWEY SYSTEM

Recently I was in the local library where all the books are supposedly arranged by the Dewey System.

The funny thing is that the Dewey System starts at 001 - fantastic! This section of the Dewey System is for Knowledge which includes things of esoteric nature. So when computers came alon there was no space for the subject so the powers plonked it in the front at 000.

All well and good, but the fun starts when you put a book called "The mysteries of the Universe" next to "Networking made simple"

Today I see a book named "Hunting by Selous scout" next to "Art of criticism."
