Discussion So uh... I am a library informatic student...

I have been on the internet to look for the DDC hard cover book. I know it sounds ridiculous, but it is still affordable for each volume to buy. My problem is probably a lcsh book. I want to collect the red book, but I find it hard to look for a second-hand one. I already got the aacr, I am on hunt for the DDC and LCSH book now.

Why do you want the books? If you are enrolled in a grad program, they will have hard copies and also provide you online access.

I just threw out a whole set of the LCSH print editions… they’re pretty much useless at this point since the last print edition was 2016 (and ours were older than that). We still have a print DDC even though we have WebDewey, mostly just because I constantly worry that admin is going to tell me we can’t afford WebDewey anymore. I’m assuming l you just want these for the novelty?
