Nov. 15th, 2010 05:27 pmDear student workers and library patrons,
I know the finer points of the Library of Congress call number system can get fairly arcane. Not everyone can be an expert, and there are a lot of call numbers that look alike at a glance. But still, what makes you think that a book about soup belongs in the pattern making section, no matter how similar the call numbers are?
(And then they wonder why we ask them not to put the books back on the shelves...)
This rant brought to you by an afternoon spent in the stacks discovering lots of things that were not remotely where they actually belong.
