Having the classification could help a resolver route the request to the appropriate library catalog if a union catalog isn't available. Having the classification could aid a service trying to disambiguate author names. Having the classification could provide a library with interesting statistics on requests, failed requests, and collection development. Probably none of this is done today, but I think the LCC will become more interesting to us as we begin to go beyond bibliographic matching to bibliographic data mining. kc -- ----------------------------------- Karen Coyle / Digital Library Consultant [log in to unmask] http://www.kcoyle.net ph.: 510-540-7596 skype: kcoylenet fx.: 510-848-3913 mo.: 510-435-8234 ------------------------------------
