I feel like this is a test. Or something where you get a bunch of replies then change the topic title to something else.

I’m not going do your homework for you Trevaylin.

Time to put on your big boy pants and do it yourself.

Anyone who’s over 40 should have used the Dewey Decimal System extensively in their school-aged years.

Maybe 50 but we definitely used library of congress’s catalog system and I’m not far from 50.

Who remembers the "Card Catalog has not been updated since 1985" sign at the LSU library?

Yes. I used the Dewey Decimal System when I was younger. Is there a follow-up question?

Spent parts of pre-teen summers in our small town library and became quite familiar with the system/process to find the books.
