It is always better to be exact.
It is easier to user LC Subject Headings than to try and figure out
your own. You may choose to not use some sub-divisions.
Weine Classification is a waste of time. You will spend too much
time trying to figure out the call numbers. Use a standard system
such as LCC. You will have experts to help you.

Colleagues - I'be begun to organize a small synagogue library, about 1500
volumes. I've decided on Weine classification and will use
Librarything for cataloguing. I am now
exploring subject heading guides. I'd like any advice
based on experience. What do you use? How detailed need the subject
headings be? Is broad and basic better? Should I take them right
from LC records? Anything you can tell me is welcome.
