I came across an article in libraryjournal.com which discusses Rangeview (CO) Library ousting Dewey in favor of BISAC (Book Industry Standards and Communications). I know I have enjoyed browsing bookstores and been happier with their organization than with Dewey, and wonder if this may be something that catches on. Yarra Plenty Library asks this very question and discusses results of how patrons reacted at: yarraplentylibrary.blogspot.com.
Meanwhile, while trying to upload the photo (libraryjournal.com via Google Images), I also meandered upon Library Thing, which I had heard about from a Princeton Library friend. "What is LibraryThing?! LibraryThing helps you list your books, get reading recommendations and connect with other book lovers." (http://www.librarything.com/about) I was thinking it would be a great spot to make a list of the new books purchased that students really seem to enjoy.
Web 2.0...giving us fascinating and wonderful things to do and utilize in education...what to do first?
