I'd be interested to know if anyone out there has given their stock a running sequence of shelfmarks (e.g. a numerical sequence) for the actual books on the shelves. RNIB is considering this for our stock. We have the advantage that our customers don't come into the library to browse the shelves - all we require is a picking location.
Our music collection in particular contains various Dewey editions and it would make life much easier if we only had to amend the catalogue for searching purposes and not the book and its location.
