  12. Can anyone in this group strongly recommend through experience any 
  13. particular system for classifying books in a specialist mathematics library
  14. with substantial holdings in numerical analysis and computer science?
  15. My instinct is that Dewey is too coarse-grained for the purpose, while AMS, 
  16. though good for general mathematics, falls down on computer science.
  17. Any comments would be welcome.
