	Units: The Metric System in the U. S.
		Americans could have adopted the metric system, which was then at an uncertain point in its history; or they could have decided to align their measurements with the British Imperial measures established by Parliament in 1824 and thus created a possible alternative to the metric system in international commerce.
		Henceforth it shall be the policy of the National Bureau of Standards to use the units of the International System (SI), as adopted by the 11th General Conference of Weights and Measures, except when the use of these units would obviously impair communication or reduce the usefulness of a report.
		Proponents of the metric system in the U.S. often claim that "the United States, Liberia, and Burma (or Myanmar) are the only countries that have not adopted the metric system." This statement is not correct with respect to the U.S., and probably it isn't correct with respect to Liberia and Burma, either.

	Research Essay: Nancy Ng
		In the United States, the two dominant systems of classification are Melvin Dewey's Dewey Decimal Classification System and the Library of Congress Classification System.
		It was expected at first that the new system to be implemented would be one of the established systems, for example the Dewey Decimal Classification System, but the Library decided that the collection needed a new and independent classification system.
		Some reasons for the conversion are that it is a system fostered by the National Library, it has tiny subdivisions, it has many features that fit with the needs of a university library, and the notations are elastic.
