New classification?

This was an interesting assignment. I have always believed that classifying is very subjective and I think that Thing 8 proves it. If you classify using LC you will realise that it can also be a cultural thing too. However, I believe that there is no such thing as a perfect classification for as Shirky's article illustrates, classifications as well as libraries are ever evolving and have to adapt to changing circumstances. My own libraries tend to be small and are never likely to increase significantly, therefore we are able to use broad terms that users can recognise. I have followed this rule with my tags.
