@corlin Dewey Decimal or go home.
@TheAbbotTrithemius @corlin Funny story: My bestie @slirt was in Chicago late last year. And, of course, being a librarian, he went to the Harold Washington main library. At which point he told me that they used LC classification. That... is rare. Public libraries use Dewey, for the most part, aside from the ones who have eschewed Dewey and replaced it with a bookstore-type cataloging system.
Yes with LC being used exclusively by academic (college and university) libraries.
I worked at a few different libraries, right after college, both public and university and liked both systems just loved everything about libraries really and still think they're amazing.

💯
In another life I would like to just live in a library.

With a full time, well paid librarian on staff.
@corlin @ATXJane @TheAbbotTrithemius @LiberalLibrarian @slirt
Well paid? This is an outrage and cannot be!
@MelissaHDavis @corlin @TheAbbotTrithemius @LiberalLibrarian @slirt
We know that typically a job's social status and compensation are directly correlated. In my inner universe, this changes. Value, worth, and contribution correlate with pay. (And doctors have to actually listen with respect and care to women and BIPOC.)
@ATXJane @corlin @TheAbbotTrithemius @LiberalLibrarian @slirt
I like that universe.
I am a librarian married to a teacher, so you know we make the bug bucks.
