As a regular lurker here I just want to challenge the implication of
John Smith's assertion. Although it may be literally true that "most"
use LC, ie- greater than 50% - I know a very significant minority,
including some Russell group do not; DC or UDC was also considered
better for technological libraries and we all live with decisions
made typically fifty years ago as no one is going to reclassify.
In the absence of hard data an educated guess would be that several
dozen UK universities out of about 120 are NOT using LCC.
