WTF?!

Okay, I know that when using the Dewey Decimal Classification System it is easy and common to come across differences in cataloging. It's a highly subjective "science." But I have never seen or even heard of what I found today. Next to the biographies in the middle of the Fiction section that is divided by AR and non-AR is a section labeled SC: Story Collection. This is where I found Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Famous Tales of Sherlock Holmes and a Garrison Keller book. Random? I should freakin' think so! I now have so much re-cataloging to do it's not even funny. To be fair the section is really very small, but where the heck did it come from and who decided what a "SC" book was anyway? I think I might be spending my WHOLE summer in the library now. Between combining the Fiction sections, putting the biographies back in the Non-Fiction section (hopefully weeding some of the section) and now disbanding the bat-shit-crazy Story Collection section! AAAHHHH!!!!! I hope everyone else is having a better Friday than I am.
