1. LIBRARIES AT LARGE

650 _0 $aLibraries$xHistory$y20th century.

650 _0 $aLibrary orientation$zUnited States.
    x Library user orientation
    x Orientation (Library use)
   xxInformation services--User education

650 _0 $aInformation services$zUnited States.

Dewey no.: 021.00923 (Library relationships-hist. & geog.-U.S.)
           L697      (Cutter for title)
	   K69	     (Cutter for Knight)

LC no.: Z731  (Library reports. History. Statistics-U.S.-General works)
	L5K6  (LC Cutters for Title & editor)

   I was tempted to use one of the 711 areas which deals with user orientation
of libraries, but decided after studying the book that it was more a report
on trends in today's libraries in the United States.
   I wasn't sure whether the title Cutter or the editor Cutter should come
first. Since the title is the main entry, I gave it precedence.



2. THE ILLUSTRATED PEPYS

600 10 $aPepys, Samuel,$d1633-1703.

651 _0 $aGreat Britain$xSocial life and customs$y17th century.

650 _0 $aDiaries.
   sa Autobiographies

Dewey no.: 940.252 0941  (Gen. hist. of W. Europe-17th c.-Gt. Britain)
	   P425		 (Cutter for Pepys)
	   L352		 (Cutter for Latham)

LC no.: DA447.P4  (Gt. Britain. Hist. 17th c.-Biography & memoirs-Pepys)
	I4L37	  (LC Cutter for title & editor)

   I was about to use the classification for Diaries in Eng. lit. (PR908,
PR1330) when I happened to notice that the History category had a section
for memoirs and even included individual names. Since Pepys was among the
names, that convinced me!
3. SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL COMMUNICATIONS
  
650 _0 $aCommunication in science.
   sa Communications of technical information
      Science--Infrmation services
    x Communication in research
      Science, Communication in
      Science communication
      Science information
      Scientific communications
   xx Science--Information services

650 _0 $aCommunication of technical information.
   sa Technology--Information services
    x Communication in technology
      Technical communication
      Technical information, Communication of
   xx Communication in science

Dewey no.: 001.5 (Knowledge-Cybernetics)
	   S416  (Cutter for title)

   The classification schedule suggested the use of the Science number with
the standard subdivision 014 for language.  I decided that it was referring
more to terminology in science than dissemination of material in science.
["Cybernetics"?! Terminology is a bit too esoteric for me...]

LC no.: Q223 (Communication in science [that was easy enough...])
        N37  (This wasn't so easy - I decided that National Academy etc.
	      was the main entry rather than the committee)


4. THE STRUCTURE OF SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTIONS

650 _0 $aScience$xPhilosophy.
   sa Science indicators
    x Philosophy and science

650 _0 $aScience$xHistory.

  I wasn't entirely satisfied with these categories, even though the author
mentioned that he was writing a philosophy... The book seemed to be a theory
of science history and what factors influence its progress.  I looked briefly
at the headings Science--Social aspects and Science and civilization, but they
treated the impact of science on society and civilization rather than vice versa.
The closest I could get was the combination of philosophy and history.

Dewey no.: 501  (Pure sciences. Philosophy & theory)
           K96s (Cutter for Kuhn & title)

LC no.: Q175 (Science. General. Philosophy. Methodology)
        K88S8 (LC Cutters for author & title)
5. MANKIND AT THE TURNING POINT

650 _0 $aEconomic history$y1945-
   sa Quality of life
    x Economic conditions
    x History. Economic
   xx Economics

650 _0 $aSocial history$y1945-

650 _0 $aConservation of natural resources$xInternational cooperation.
   sa Human ecology
      Material accountability
      Metals--Conservation
      Mineral resources conservation
      Nature conservation
    x Conservation of resources
      Resource management
   xx Ecology
      Environmental policy
      Enironmental protection
      Human ecology
      Natural resources

Dewey no.: 330.904 (Economics-Economic situation & conditions-20th century)
	   P476m    (Cutter for author & title)

LC no.: HC59  (Economic History & conditions-1945-   )
        P47M3 (LC Cutters for author & title)

   This was another problem.  There were categories for the individual elements
touched upon in the book under HC79 (eg. .E5 Environmental policy, .T4 
Technological innovations, .W4 Wealth)  I decided that the general history
category was better since it was more all-encompassing.
6. THE INTEGRAL URBAN HOUSE

650 _0 $aDwellings$xEnvironmental engineering.

650 _0 $aHuman ecology.
   sa Community life
      Conservation of natural resources
      Environmental health
      Landscape assessment
      Quality of life
    x Ecology--Social aspects
      Ecology, Human
      Ecology, Social
      Environment
      Environment, Human
      Human environment
      Social ecology
      Survival (Human ecology)
   xx Conservation of natural resources
      Ecology
      Environmental policy
      Human biology

   I disagree that the second heading is inappropriate for this book.  The
cross references seem to cover the topics treated by the various chapters.

Dewey no.: 690.8028 (Residential buildings-techniques, procedures, apparatus, etc.)
           F219i    (Cutters for Farallones & title)

LC no.: TH4812 (Buildings-Houses. Dwellings-General special)
 	F37I5  (LC Cutters for main entry & title)

  This was frustrating.  First of all, I could see very little difference
between the Technology class TH4805-4850 (Building: construction with reference
to use. Houses. Dwellings) and the Architecture class NA7100-7600 (Domestic 
architecture. Houses. Dwellings) It presented a good case for the coin flip method 
of cataloguing.  I finally decided on the TH class since it emphasized use (as
opposed to structure in Architecture), which was more in keeping with the nature
of the book.  The subheading "General special" seems to be a contradiction
in terms.
