Jimmy Wales uses LC classification system

According to an article in Sunday’s NYT Magazine Jimmy Wales, Internet entrepreneur and founder of Wikipedia, collects books, and get this ! – he puts “little labels on the spines with Library of Congress numbers” and “arranges them in Library of Congress order“. You mean Jimmy Wales doesn’t want his personal library to be like a Barnes & Noble? Maybe he actually wants to find things! Listen up, librarians. There may just be something to these archaic classification systems after all. Think twice before you ditch Dewey.
