Abstract

Advantages and disadvantages of using more than one classification scheme are explored through a series of interviews with librarians currently employed at institutions that do so. These institutions can be categorized as falling into one of three major groups: (1) libraries that choose to shelve their government documents or technical reports by preassigned numbers, (2) libraries that retain DDC for some materials and LCC for other materials, and (3) libraries that implemented additional schemes when it became apparent that the existing classification scheme did not adequately cover their needs. Reasons behind the decisions leading to the use of multiple classification systems, the implications of these decisions for staff and user training, and the ongoing problems encountered by users are also explored.
