It certainly explains why the hotel's site is *very* keen to emphasize the various trademarks. Thanks for the link – I didn't know that.

OCLC owns the trademark and copyright of DDC. They settled pretty quickly, but I wonder what the hotel had to pay for the licensing! <a href="http://www.oclc.org/news/releases/20031124.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.oclc.org/news/releases/20031124.htm</a> You know they got sued, right?

Despite my capabilities with devices, it takes forever for me to look up a book on the library computer. Every time that I have to do this, I long for an old wooden card index to guide me to the location that I need. This sounds like a great idea, a 'smart' theme hotel. Thanks for the post.

It's pretty geeky for sure. The books in the room are associated with the proper subject matter as well. I had a Hippo butt on my door once. I've stayed at the Library a few times.
