Dear Safranim, I was speaking to our local Orthodox rabbi. He is unhappy with the LC system in his synagogue's library. I told him that there were other schemes out there (i.e. Wiene and Elazar) but I'm unfamiliar with which one he might want to use. Any ideas? He is trying to organize the library himself, but is willing to ask for help, and I happened to be in the building (it's not the library I work in). Also, the biggest challenge of the library is the shelf list (main entry cards only), which is the only access point for looking up books. I think he wants a system immanently browseable. Since we (the other librarians in the city), would love to have them in a Union catalog online someday, we want the same thing!!
Thanks as always for any assistance. I told him I would ask my colleagues (he doesn't realize how much info I can glean from you all!!).
