No most 20 to 30 year olds are surprisingly ignorant (i'm sorry) and do not know how to read a songbook that is alphabatized by song artist - i'm not trying to offend anybody here, but it seems to be the case. The "Dewey Decimal System" that the libraries used to teach seem to no longer apply. I have never had a problem with my book listings up until about 5 years ago, I ALWAYS listed my artists by FIRST NAME - LAST NAME, but alphabatized under last name - basically if you were looking for Garth Brooks, you would look under B (brooks) for Brooks. The last few years I had so many confused people that didn't know how to look up a song under library rules - quite honestly astonished me. They would always hand me the book more often than not & say this book is so out of order that I cannot find anything, when I asked what they are looking for, they would say (for example) Carrie Underwood, I told them to look under "U" for Underwood - even though it said "Carrie Underwood". I now list the books, last name - first name - sadly STILL have people that do not know how to find a song. What does that say to todays education system? I asked my son AND daughter today WHAT the Dewey Decimal System is, and neither of them knew nor heard of it. That just may be OUR school system, but from what i've experienced from singers over the last few years, I don't think so!
This is more of an OFF TOPIC RANT! Sorry!
