100-level, meaning "Philosophy and psychology" for the 100s, but nothing more specific? -- nm - mara Feb 25, 12:28 7
- Yep. Keeps it simple, keeps it from being paralysis by choice and then you get people wandering - Will Hunting Feb 25, 12:30 6
  - The thing is, the level of specificity can't be consistent because some sections are very much larger than others. -- nm - loosilu Feb 25, 12:32
  - The sections are pretty big, though. The 600s might take hours to look through, if you scanned all the shelves. -- nm - mara Feb 25, 12:31 4
    - make the signs specific enough to cover one aisle. -- nm - loosilu Feb 25, 12:36 2
      - Not possible, when (for instane) the 700s end and the 800s begin in the same range. -- nm - mara Feb 25, 12:38 1
        
        God mara, you have tooooo many books if you can't just leave blank space between the 7s and 8s. - Will Hunting Feb 25, 12:40
    - Buy more signs, use your judgment.....but don't make it so minute that you've hosed yourself - Will Hunting Feb 25, 12:35
