We have a collection of about 400 music CDs that are currently classified according to ANSCR (http://www.calstatela.edu/library/guides/anscr_class.htm). Or rather, I should say, SOME of them are classified according to ANSCR and a large number are classified incorrectly. All our other collections are classed in LC, and I am considering re-classing our music in LC. Here's the personal philosophy part: Is it really worth my time to re-class a dying format? The collection is not heavily used; I can think of only one patron who has consistently checked out music (our Learning Commons serves about 10,000 students). It's not just books that are becoming/have become digital. I think music really got there first. I know there has been past discussion about the reemergence of vinyl in the music world. It is my generation that is bringing that back.

And calling it Catcher has put me in mind of a couple of movies I greatly enjoyed, The Good Girl with Jennifer Anniston (Justine: "Whatcha readin'?" Holden: "Catcher in the Rye ... I'm named after it." Justine: "What's your name? Catcher?") and Down with Love, in which Renée Zellweger's love/anti-love interest is the publishing mogul "Catcher Block." Catcher in the Rye, you've got to admit, is a very catchy title for a book, and so is Raise High the Roofbeam, Carpenters. The latter is named after a "fragment" of a poem by the ancient Greek poet Sappho, after whom lesbianism itself was named! The titular line goes: "Raise high the roof beam, carpenters. Like Ares comes the bridegroom, taller far than a tall man..."
