- Abstract
- As I have listened to descriptions of substantial changes being worked on in the various classification schemes, and as I have heard exhortations to librarians to get involved in applying classification to areas that most of us currently don't touch, I have been reminded of a T-shirt slogan that was popular around the time of the Vietnam War, to wit: "It's hard to remember that the original objective was to drain the swamp when you're up to your ass in alligators." And frankly, that's where most administrators find themselves- in the swamp, fending off alligators. Perhaps it was a process of free association that made me come up with a rather dismal mnemonic to identify what I see as the greatest challenges for a library administrator trying to deal with classification: MIA - Money - Inertia - Attitude
