David Weinberger and Melvil Dewey!

Hi All

I am currently reading the latest book by David Weinberger - "Everything is Miscellaneous" (check http://www.everythingismiscellaneous.com/) and in this there is a great chapter called "The Geography of Knowledge" that talks about Melvil Dewey and the Dewey Decimal System, and how this doesnt quite fit into our web 2.0 world... using Amazon as an example

I thought it might be worth sharing with colleagues here, as the themes about how libraries can effectively deal with Web 2.0 and the methods of organising and shaping information associated with it, are very relevant.

Best wishes

Steven Do you find this valuable?
