Re: Reading course on facets

Hi Bill

I'm curious to know if you feel there was enough or any coverage in the 
literature of the MLA scheme or the Getty AAT, which both claim to be faceted.
I'd also be very interested to know if anyone in your class is using BC2 
for anything; I'd like to compare notes with other informal users (I keep 
my personal files with it, where possible).
