I have a question regarding classification schemes used in libraries in the UK... Does anyone know of numbers of libraries using certain classification schemes? I'm particularly interested in seeing if any UK library (being public, academic, workplace/special) uses either UDC, Colon Classification, Brown, Bliss or Moys... so if you know of any, please let me know!

thanks very much!

Anneli
