What is interesting is that under Categories there is a heading: Library
Shelves/Dewey Decimal Classification. I was able to look up a list of books
as far as 027 with this (unfortunately not able to get to the .4).
If the Dewey indexes and schedules were ever to be released on the web to
the public, this could develop into a really useful tool for people.
Another interesting development is a Google API to enable library OPAQ users
to look inside a book:
Preview books anywhere with the new Google Book Search API
