Can anyone in this group strongly recommend through experience any 
particular system for classifying books in a specialist mathematics library
with substantial holdings in numerical analysis and computer science?
My instinct is that Dewey is too coarse-grained for the purpose, while AMS, 
though good for general mathematics, falls down on computer science.
Any comments would be welcome.
