Did libraries lose something in "alphabetizing" things when they started using computers? The first and middle initials, salutation titles, periods, dashes, underscores, etc., but especially suffix titles, such as "PhD", etc. really throw the poor computers off. I can find things in a phone book, but not in a library's database. Like you, I will usually walk around to the 912 section and browse the titles...
- btw, don't forget about "uboot" as a spelling...
Our local library here used to have "Sherlock", or whatever its spelling was, but they ditched it a while back (about the time they changed their users' card system) and now shell out to a Google search of the site, so they've gone from "bad" to "worse", in light of the fact that you now get hundreds of worthless "hits" that are totally unrelated to what you are searching on... my local tax dollars "hard at waste"... - sort of like its construction "project" that has all sorts of cracks and fissures in its concrete... yeah
wow, this thread started as Edge crashing its market share...
- sorry Skybird
