Good morning,

 

I am curious as to how other institutions are handling the cataloguing of books to their collections.

 

Do you use Library of Congress, Dewey or MARC?

Do you use some other numbering system? If so, what is it?

 

We really would like to know what other institutions are doing. The number of books that we have is relatively small, but to be properly tracked in a database, each needs an individual number, obviously. We are trying to decide what is the best way to do that and would like to know if there is even an informal consensus among others as to the best way of doing that.

 

Thank you!

Lisa
