Library West Collection Preparation Steering Committee
Phase 2
The addition to and renovation of Library West provides an opportunity to bring the humanities and social science collections together in ways that will facilitate access and use. With the re-opening of Library West in Spring/Summer 2006 the print collections located there should all be arranged in LC classification order.
Area Studies materials will be located in Library East subsequent to the Library West opening. Initially these materials will remain in their current locations:
A committee to plan for these collections will be assigned in January 2005.
- African - intershelved with Humanities Social Sciences
- Asian - intershelved with Humanities Social Sciences
Judaica - Education Library- Latin American - Library East
Periodicals and monographs/serials will continue to be shelved separately.
Currently received periodicals will be reclassed first. Generally, all volumes from 1980 to date will be re-labelled. Earlier volumes will remain in storage and can remain in Dewey call numbers.
Monographs that have circulated five times or more in the last 10 years will be automatically reclassed.
This revised Steering Committee builds on the earlier reclassification projects initiated by the original Library West Collection Preparation group.
