for cataloging geeks only
OCLC offers an experimental project called classify where you can find out how a particular book has been classified by libraries who have added their holdings to that title.
here is an image for stendhal’s red and black :
clicking on the ddc tab will give you the breakdown of how it has been classified in dewey. clicking on the all tab will just show you the percentage of classified/unclassified.
pretty helpful stuff.

back at work after being away for more than a week at ALA and a few days off.
ALA was overwhelming but great. great sessions, receptions and socials.
surreal moment: standing in an award recipients line in front of the stage… our mugs on the big screen … with martha yee.
