Was just wondering... does anyone have a personal library big enough to warrant use of the Dewey Decimal System for cataloguing? Does anyone use it in their own personal libaries?
For those that don't know what it is... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dewey_Deci ... sification

Purdue University considers themselves the largest library to use the Dewey system. Don't know if that's accurate or not, of course.

I have well over 2000 books, but I use an eclectic system of placement which has evolved to suit me...

And my gin!
