Dear all Has anyone got any thoughts and suggestions on using classification schemes alongside NLM? NLM is fine for all the clinical stuff we have, but our non-clinical collection is rapidly expanding - management, education, social work - and I'm finding NLM less and less useful for these subjects. Part of my problem is that apart from Dewey (I'm a public library escapee) I'm not familiar enough with any of the other schedules to decide that one of them is worth using. And as the Librarything blog has noted http://www.librarything.com/thingology/2006/08/angry-about-classification.php you can't get full schedules for free anywhere. So can anyone suggest a cheap and easy solution (other than inventing my own scheme which I really do not have time to do)?
