(This is a favour for our departmental library -any misrepresentation
  of the problem is probably due to me!)

Our library (Dept of AI, University of Edinburgh) has a reasonable
scheme for cataloguing (?) computing literature but we don't have a
good way of handling various psychology books. 

The scheme we are using is the Computing Reviews classification scheme
with David Waltz's expanded index for AI (AI Magazine, Spring 1985). 

Now I realise that classification causes us all great hassles but has anyone
out there got a refinement of Waltz's scheme which is better at accounting
for the contribution of various strands of psychology?  Placing a book on
studies of human problem solving can be quite hard -let alone, say, a book 
on developmental psychology!

(We really don't want to resort to misc -:))
