Dear list,
Excuse for duplicate postings; this is being sent to Maps-L and lis-maps also.
Are Dewey classification codes useful for early maps ("historic" or
antiquarian maps)? Does anyone use them? Or is it sufficient with
subject headings and TGM codes?
My former library, the National library of Sweden, has switched to
Dewey, and now my former colleagues are wondering if they should use
it also.
Kind regards
