Thank you for this wonderful bit of nostalgia. I frequently rode my bike to the library to search the seemingly limitless card catalogue for books on astronomy, chemistry, magic tricks, and novels for kids. The best part: No ads or fake keyword scams! #DeweyDecimal

If I see #ElonMusk referred to by historically-impared #Journalists as the richest man in history again I am going to force them to eat a number of #DeweyDecimal shelves.

He's not even the #richest person in the last 100 years!

#Research! Learn some #history? You could start comparing him to #Stalin, or even the still-living (ish) #Putin, or run articles on how Elon's wealth compares to Mansa Musa's.

Mind you, it doesn't even help when they pretend to do history:

Thanks to the Orion Township Library, specifically James Pugh and Dan Major, for inviting me to talk about organizational systems and the IMLS National Leadership Grant funded project MPOW is working on, on their podcast. https://soundcloud.com/user-539915961/we-blame-our-shelves-121422?in=orion-library/sets/we-blame-our-shelves

It’s #DeweyDecimal day, perfect time to revisit this segment of @onthemedia https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm/episodes/re-sorting-shelves-look-bias-dewey-decimal-system

I’m not #verified yet, but I’m working on my website. I really run a #crematorium. I’m also a #funeral #celebrant. I have done over 60 funerals.

I’m also an amateur #histodon who writes books about #atheism in the #USA a hundred years ago. I have my own #DeweyDecimal number! It’s 211.4 LAW.

Really. For reals. Guess this became another #introduction. Hello, Mastodonians!

The #deweydecimal #classification system gives the #library an infrastructure for knowledge organization benificial for information retrieval and sharing. However concepts that were unknown to white men during the 19th and early 20th centuries are less well covered. "On the media" discusses these issues.
