It's Fine to Drop Dewey

Michael Casey & Michael Stephens comment on the Rangeview wordtype innovation as an alternative to Dewey.
"Today's busy, working adults want to find what they want, quickly, and be able to have a latte or iced tea while they browse. And Dewey, no matter how good for librarians needing to locate a book fast, is simply not suited to a popular collection intended more for browsing than research."
and
"Isn't focusing on innovation, creative thinking, the delivery of intuitive user-focused service, and streamlining workflows a bit more important and timely than worrying if the catalog is perfectly correct?"
