[edit]His death date has been listed as both April 5th and (according to the nonagenarians & centenarians site at www.tech.org/~cleary/NNC/nncmain.html) April 12th as well. This was probably due to the fact that the New York Times stated that Lubetzky died "last Saturday." Coming across this today (Sunday April 13) I assumed that meant the 12th. I therefore presume that the article and the author of this Wikipedia entry to be correct and I subsequently wish that the New York Times' website would actually state the date of death rather than saying just the day of the week so that a number and specific time can be attached to them. -- Katagelophobia
I think the following paragraph is wrong. Should anyone correct it? "Lubetzky's theory of cataloging went far beyond the Dewey Decimal System. He divised a colorful yet tactful way of identifying but ordering books where even the most simple person could find it." cat wizard --220.234.84.172 14:31, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC) Done LaMona (talk) 04:15, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
He had an effect on cataloging even quite recently. Svenonius' 2000 book acknolwedgements says "I feel particulalry fortunate for the recent conversations I have had with Seymour Lubetzky, whose principled thinking, even at age 100, is remarkable to behold."(p xv Svenonius, Elaine (2000-04-18).

[edit]The article says, "Lubetzky's theory of cataloging went far beyond the Dewey Decimal System". That confuses things (in this case, books etc.) so they can be identified and distinguished. Classification deals with arranging materials in some coherent order. Dewey Decimal System is an example of classification, not cataloging.
E.g., classification in libraries deals with subjects, cataloging deals with authors' names (as author that is, not as subject of e.g., a biography).
