 The link posted earlier explained that the Library of 
Congress's catalog system was developed around the 
same time as Dewey's, in order to solve the same 
problems. From the description, it sounds like Dewey's 
system is more flexible and general-purpose, but 
the Library of Congress system is good enough for 
Congress' needs, so there's no motivation to replace 
it with Dewey's system.
