    Abstract
    In 1986 Libraries Unlimited published Cochrane's book, Improving LCSH for Use in Online Catalogs; Exercises for Self-Help with a Selection of Background Readings. This was preceded in 1981 by an ERIC publication (ED 208 900) by Cochrane, with Monika Kirtland Bibliographic and Bibliometric Essay which documented critical views of LCSH and an analysis of vocabulary control in LCSH (parts of which were published in Cataloging & Classification Quarterly' 1(2/3) (1982), 71-94). Three features of LCSH will be re-examined to check on progress since the time of these earlier publications: notes, structure of relationships between headings in the list, and links between Library of Congress classification numbers and LCSH or other vocabularies

    Abstract
    A new design for the DDC allows for display of the schedules and indexes in a hypertextual browser which was originally designed for the more conventional thesaurus with BT-NT, RT and USE-UF relations. Features of the DDC which approxumate those relations and the presentation of the rich vocabulary found in the hierarchical structure, captions, index entries and notes are represented for the library user's perusal and choice before searching a library's holdings. By dragging and dropping parts from such a display into a search window, the search for bibliographic items can begin and revised painlessly. Information such as class numbers of subject headings for retrieved items can be dragged and dropped into the searchw indow of the Visual Dewey display window as it suits the user to review vocabulary or revise the search results. This seamless to-ing and fro-ing allows for a truly interactive and spontaneous search environment, with maximum assistance at point of need. 'File folders' exist for saving any Visual Dewey information, any retrieved items, etc.

    1. Exploit technology a. for adding class numbers to materials in digital form. b. for linking subject access systems like LCSH and DDC. c. for providing navigation and retrieval tools based on outlines of knowledge within classification schedules. 2. Extend the use of library classification to Internet resources. 3. Improve presentation of information in library classification schedules, including more lead in vocabulary, more understandable scope notes, better captions, references, and indexes. 4. Share development strategies among and between various classification systems and thesauri, creating the ability to link with one another including multilingual and specialized systems. 5. Work with vendors of Online Catalogs so that these systems will include features where classification systems and thesauri can be used for file partitioning, navigation, and retrieval. 6. Build bridges from the past (e.g., library collections classified by DDC, LCC, etc.) to the future (e.g., digitized full text collections). 7. Educate consumers, administrators, and practitioners about the value of library classification systems beyond mere shelf arrangement. 8. Conduct more end-user research to determine utility of library classification systems new and improved. 9. Reach out to other professions for ideas, stimulation, collaboration, and convergence on the problem of organizing networked information. 10. Challenge the status quo in the realm of library and networked information systems and services. 11. Make the classification schemes more educational so that the user can be guided to see relationships and cognate information they might not otherwise have known. 12. Organize the classification schemes differently for the end-user than for the classifier and provide more than one scheme for users to browse and navigate before and after retrieval
