[aisle] cataloging confusion

[Toner, Timothy]

I invariably run to WorldCat, to see how it is categorized there.  I
figure, "If I'm going to be wrong, then I'm going to be as wrong as
everyone else."  I do have 'house overrides'.  If it's the kind of book
that clearly belongs to the 921s, then I put it there, regardless of what
WorldCat says.
