Widener Filing

In Progress

Widener Library steadfastly uses its own system to file its books, although most libraries now use the newer Library of Congress filing system.

But Widener may now have to shift to the Congress system itself. The library has found it costs about $30 to get a book on the shelves and in the card catalog, and the Congress system may help it cut its costs for new books, which already have Library of Congress classifications.
