Speaking of S.R. Ranganathan...

Natalie's info about S.R. Ranganathan reminded me that I recently bought a T-shirt that states: "What Would Dewey Do?" You can imagine how appalled I was when most people who saw my T-shirt asked me who or what was/is Dewey?

While I know you all know all about Dewey, just in case you need a memory refresher:

Melvil Dewey published the Dewey Decimal classification system in 1876 the same year he organized the first conference for librarians in Philadelphia which became the ALA! Of course, he has other claims to fame but these two struck me as the highlights.

This looks like a great blog! More people just have to get used to it.
