[LM_NET] HIT: Dewey Trivia

["Wee, David" <dwee@HW.COM>]

Hello all,

 

Original Target:  During a lesson an using call #s today, a seventh
grader asked what the longest possible Dewey number might be.  Got my
curiosity going, but we're running around like a bunch of crazy
librarians so I thought that I'd see if someone on the list knows the
answer.

 

Info and other responses:

 

 

I didn't get a definitive answer to my Dewey number question, but I did
happen upon << 025.431: The Dewey Blog

"You see, I don't believe that libraries should be drab places where
people sit in silence, and that's been the main reason for our policy of
employing wild animals as librarians."
