Pat et al,

I work in a special library that has more types of call numbers than any
other library I've worked in.  We use Library of Congress, SuDocs, and a
call number section that was invented specifically for things written by
our company.  The more flexibility you can build into the call number
system, the better.  Thanks for asking!
