(This is a favour for our departmental library -any misrepresentation of the problem is probably due to me!) Our library (Dept of AI, University of Edinburgh) has a reasonable scheme for cataloguing (?) computing literature but we don't have a good way of handling various psychology books. The scheme we are using is the Computing Reviews classification scheme with David Waltz's expanded index for AI (AI Magazine, Spring 1985). Now I realise that classification causes us all great hassles but has anyone out there got a refinement of Waltz's scheme which is better at accounting for the contribution of various strands of psychology? Placing a book on studies of human problem solving can be quite hard -let alone, say, a book on developmental psychology! (We really don't want to resort to misc -:))
