The word has been used since at least the French revolution and the practice has never quite disappeared: think of the Anarchist bombers at the start of the 20th century, or the Red Brigades and other similar groups of the 1960s. Dewey has long had provision for the concept. For several editions past, it has been at 363.32: ‘Control of violence and terrorism', which also included ‘crowd and riot control'.</span></p><p style="margin-top:4px;margin-bottom:8px;line-height:18px;color:rgb(77,77,77);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">Given the increased recent media attention on al-Qaeda and other militant groups in the Middle East , it was clear that the general number was no longer adequate.

We have a small browsing collection (less than 70K items system-wide). The books in question are <em>Rise of Isis, the threat we can't ignore</em>; and <em>Isis, the State of Terror</em>. Many libraries have these classified in the 956s. Many in 363s. I think it should be in the 297s. Isn't Isis an offshoot of Islam? Isn't it radicalized Islam? We often reclassify items to fit our local collection, but I am stumped. I thought the 900s were mostly history. Is there a current events area in DDC for the Middle East? I'm befuddled, as per usual when it comes to cataloging for rural libraries (hey, that sounds like a great workshop topic)! I remember in library school, I raised my hand and stated to my professor that I would never have need for the material I was learning in this class. When he asked why?, I answered, "because I will hire someone to catalog for me." Well... seems I did learn something in that class and after 30 years of library experience, I am still questioning some of the modern placements in an antiquated DDC system.</div><div>Any advice for our titles in question?</div><div>Thanks in advance!</div><div>Susan<br clear="all"></div><div><div><div dir="ltr"><div><font size="1">*****************************</font></div>
