<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><SPAN class=558282318-11072013>Our library is
looking for ways to streamline cataloging workload. One option is to accept
Dewey subject classification numbers for biographies on imported catalog
records. Has any library done this? Does it seem beneficial for patrons to
find biographies under the subject of the life work of the person or is a
section reserved specifically for biographies more patron friendly? We
use Ingram for purchasing and processing. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
