Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Scott, the former head of cataloging with the U.S. Census Bureau, has devised truly useful, straightforward tables translating Library of Congress call numbers into Dewey Decimal class numbers and Dewey into LC. Aimed at both converting entire collections and the search for call numbers for individual records, this will prove to be an effective aid for catalogers. Starting with LC numbers in strict order, the Dewey equivalent is listed immediately to the right, followed by a brief, precise descriptor. This process is duplicated for the Dewey numbers. While not as inclusive or descriptive as the actual schedules, the coverage is comprehensive. If more precision is required, the citations will direct catalogers to appropriate areas of the actual schedules. Geographic and other standard extensions are included. This work should also be considered by reference departments for work with patrons familiar with one scheme but not the other.
