Thanks for the correction.
Words at the beginning of a sentence are capitalized. (Do I get a
"thanks," or are you of the Raymond School?)
ALL of the public and military, community and school, libraries I've
been a patron of use the Dewey System. In all cases it has been my
experience to locate "Mark Twain" novels classified as "Clemens"
novels in 813, all American fiction being arranged alphabetically by
author.
"In the United States, 95 percent of all public and K-12 school
libraries, 25 percent of college and university libraries and 20
percent of special libraries use the DDC. More than 200,000 libraries
worldwide in 135 countries count on the DDC to keep their collections
organized so that their users can easily locate the resources they
need. DDC has been translated into more than 30 languages."
Dewey 8xx is the classification for literature.
"813 Fiction 814 Essays 815 Speeches 816 Letters 817 Satire & humor
... 823 English fiction 824 English essays 825 English speeches 826
English letters..."
813 has the shreds
a.. 813.08 collections, short stories
a.. 813.09 history and criticism
See
http://www-lib.nearnorth.edu.on.ca/dewey/ddc.htm
for complete Dewey system
Flyleaves are usually noted to indicate pseudonym or nom de plume (pen
name) of "Twain" and others.
Biographies in Dewey 82 are arranged by the name of the subject not
the author or title. e.g., All Lee biographies can be found on the
same shelf in alphabetical sequence by author.
