Hi - I'm hoping someone can help with this. I've been asked to help set up and catalogue a small Disability Resource Centre, which will be mostly used by professionals. My only experience of classification systems is Dewey but as the Resource centre will ultimately be run by non information specialists I feel that a simpler System may be more suitable - does anyone know of a suitable classification system or can recommend one?

Many thanks!
