[LM_NET] GEN: The future of Dewey

[Joanne Shawhan <joanneshawhan@VERIZON.NET>]

Dear Everyone,

After reading the discussion of the future of Dewey, I haver thought of another 
disadvantage to the Arizona library discarding Dewey or anything involving creating 
tags, electronic or not--time and energy. 

I have no desire to have to think about my library's organization etc.  I buy my 
books processed and I put them on the shelves. Of course I can change call numbers 
or catalog books that I acquire without cataloging, but It doesn't demand much 
thought.  Dewey works and I can spend my time thinking about ways to support the 
student learning in our high school.  I think it's a better use of my time and  a 
lot more fun for me. (Cataloging is not my cup of tea.)

Joanne
