Sure! His legacy impacts nearly everyone, everyday. OCLC now owns the Dewey Deciamal System and lots and lots and lots of folks fork over money to have access to it in its current regularly updated form.
Dewey is a big reason so many women work in libraries too! It's a long and often debated issue, but it's true.
Thanks for sharing your lib shots with the Libraians via Libraryman group, btw!

oh - i know librarians still use it - i guess i was wondering aloud whether kids are really that aware of it /taught about it today - since so many libraries are searchable via computer and the d.d. system seems a bit less visible. maybe i just wanted to write "dewey decimel system"...
