Re. the Dewey system: "Dewey, a librarian, invented the Dewey Decimal Classification in 1874 and devoted his life to spreading it."
Not split hairs too much, but copyright law the U.S. begins in 1927. (I was in a session with the Michigan State University copyright lawyers, several years ago.) Anything before that time is not protected by U.S. Copyright, so far as I undersand that law. Of course, the Online Computer Library Center can copyright its product. I am not a lawyer (and do not play one on television). We need a legal opinion by copyright experts before proceeding further. ________________________________________________ Dr. Don Weinshank Professor Emeritus Comp.
