I was trying to search a category for Ryszard Kapuscinsky collections of articles. Don't we need a 'Journalism' category? 2KingRatJan 22, 2009, 2:07am
In other classification systems it's often placed with Language (or Language Arts). In other words Language is really often more generally "Communications". Considering Linguistics is put there in OSC so far, that might be appropriate. 3aulsmithJan 22, 2009, 10:39am
It is a separate category in Dewey (070) 4pwaakJan 22, 2009, 8:30pm
At our library, we combined DDC 070, 400, and 808 into a special collection. Our reasoning is that 070 and 808 contain further information on the use of language (writing, public speaking, etc.). Strict DDC disperses these books even though are often used together. "Books that are frequently used together should be physically near each other" is a good standard for accessibility. |  596 members 3,022 messages  AboutThis topic is not marked as primarily about any work, author or other topic.
