Jeff and colleagues,
an interesting sidelight of libraries' efforts to
shelve together all materials on individual artists is
that, due to reliance on bibliographic utilities and copy
cataloging, I now have three dozen artist monographs in my
otherwise straight - LC collection classed in N 40.1
(the number used by the National Museum of American Art /
National Portrait Gallery).
The cataloging is good, but the "browsability" of the
stacks is affected. (of course, "straight - LC" is pretty
unbrowsable, too!).
