That said, while this book is (literally) dedicated to librarians and generally very pro-librarians, I think the author has a prejudicially anti-traditional cataloging stance. I understand why, since Dewey is crazy. But still, just because we need to PHYSICALLY colocate things in the real world doesn’t mean we can’t also do a lot of awesome digital stuff away from traditional book cataloging FOR BOOKS. He seems to think it is one or the other–either you catalog physical stuff and are chained to something like DDC, or you are open to a wonderful world of user tagging. Why can there be no compromise?
