Hi Lissi,
I agree that we should adopt the Library of Congress classification system for
the Bookshare collection. Even with our small library of thirty-five-thousand
books, it is difficult to find abook in the subject you really want. When we
get the collection up to one-hundred-thousand books our current classification
system will be impossible.
It will also be good training for students to learn the Library of Congress
system.
Mike

Dear Jamie,
The categories you suggested would be more accurately reflective of the vast
panoply of books in the collection. . I'd love to see categories for holidays,
humor and hobbies, added.
A while ago Pratik mentioned using the library of congress categorization
system. His was a good idea, too.
Always with love,
Lissi

I was going to suggest putting political books under philosophy, but I just
checked, and that's not a category either.
A couple of categories (and I know that new categories are probably not
going to happen, based on the chats I have been listening to) I would like to
see are:
Humor (I have been using entertainment)
Holidays
Hobbies/Crafts (I have done several knitting books lately and home and
garden just doesn't quite match)
