I have been reading with interest the discussion on Elazar vs LC and there was one fact that I would like to point out. Elazar is recognized as a standardized system that is acknowledged by the Library of Congress. It was developed for Judaic libraries just like churches have their own system, the National Library of Medicine has their own system and the military has their own system. If there is a Judaic classification system that is standardized then why shouldn't we as school and synagogue librarians use it?
